55
The proposed budget ensures maximum community benefit while maintaining cost effectiveness. The project utilises existing farmer networks, local trainers, and shared agricultural resources to reduce operational expenses. Joint venture farming and shared tools minimise duplication costs and improve resource utilisation. Training sessions are designed to reach multiple beneficiaries simultaneously, ensuring high impact per investment. Additionally, bio-input production reduces long-term farmer input costs and promotes sustainable agriculture. Administrative expenses are kept below 15% of the total budget, ensuring the majority of funds directly benefit farmers and community development.
