2. Identify the needs of the project beneficiaries in the region. According to the on-field investigations, two types of surveys will be implemented:

Survey 1

Objective: Study the actual socio-agro-economic status of the farmers in relation to the river inundation and the potential benefit from River Rehabilitation works.

Survey 2

Objective: Evaluate the know-how of the farmers and the impact of the Service Center activities on the agricultural operation in the project areaTarget: Determined number of farmers in the project area for further follow-up
