He said the beneficiaries are farmers from the refugee and host communities in Boe, Beh and Seiwen towns.
Davis told the Liberia News Agency that the 260 men and 100 women, who are to benefit under the scheme, were trained at the farmers’ field school to grow vegetables that are now ready for harvest.

The AFT economic transformation pillar comprises line ministries and agencies of government, along with INGOS, NGOS and CBOS, presently engaged in community-based projects and income generation.

They meet monthly to give an update of their respective activities in the county and recommend the way forward.
