Federally Administered Tribal Areas Rural Development Project

The project was a success primarily because of its design, which accounted for actual conditions in the project area, applied lessons from previous interventions, and incorporated and adopted efficient and sustainable delivery mechanisms. The involvement of beneficiaries in the project through effective social mobilization was critical to its success. Training, awareness raising, and capacity building of beneficiaries was also instrumental in ensuring that the subprojects were owned and operated by the communities and were sustainable.
