As the first ACIAR Pakistan project of this nature, ASLP Social Research 2005-2010 created lessons and tools that are increasingly relevant in R4D. This project applied a “place-based” approach - addressing community demand for information and training on farming as well as for broader skillsets. It demonstrated that a deep understanding of communities and the people in them is vital to empowering smallholder families.
