SAC team visited the project activities of IA Bangladesh (Rural Development Academy) in Gazipur project site under the SDF funded livelihood enhancement project on 01 April, 2024. Dr. Harunur Rashid, Director SAC, PC Livelihood Project, SPS (PSPD) and SPS (Crops) took part in this visit. The aim of the visit was to find out the sustainability challenges of the project after it ended. The activities like producer group formation, group meeting, group registration, value addition of tomato ketchup (production, harvesting, drying, grinding, grading. packaging, marketing and branding) were found not up to the mark as part of the project activities. In this stage, the project farmers are not getting the fair prices of their produce. As a result, farmers are being demotivated to continue the activities. The SAC team also visited the project infrastructure with different machineries. It is recommended that the RDA may give support to the project farmers to get the fair prices of their products.
