Improvement of Livelihood Situation of Disadvantaged Members through Access to Finance was a project funded by UKAid initiated by Sakchhyam Access to Finance Project. The objective of the project was to accelerate the economic growth of the disadvatged communities of different parts of the country through access to finance. ISAP partnered with Vijaya Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha taking responsibility of providing technical backstopping for the beneficiary farmers who were provided with subsidized agriculture loan from VLBS. 130 farmers of Baglung, Parbat, Banke and Bardiya were techncially supported for fresh vegetable production. This project was the first of its kind in Nepal where farmers did not just receive a comparatively easy loan to venure into commercial agriculture but were also provided with adequate skills to ensure they can pay back the loan amount with the income from vegetable production.
