External connections
The project committed to hire enough number of qualify horticulturist staff which has the extension skill that can be encourage plantation of drought-tolerance grafted sapling of almond for orchard establishment in rain fed condition and utilizing drought resistant crop such as saffron, black cumin, ferula, local alfalfa for intercropping and can be able to adapt supplement irrigation and proper eco-friendly techniques in dry land farming to makes people more interested to use the rarest drought resistance crops to increase the productivity, production and profitability of dry land farming to improve their livelihoods and nutrition.
The project seeks to coordinate the project implementation with key stakeholders such as General Directorate of Natural Resources Management at MAIL, PAIL and DAIL and directly engage the community development council and natural resources management council in the project planning, monitoring and evaluation by raising their awareness to improve soil and water conservation and improvement of livelihoods by plantation and management of drought resistance plants in target area.

Winters are cold with a January average of −2.3 °C. Spring is the wettest time of year, though temperatures are generally amiable. Sunny conditions dominate year-round.
Sustainability
We estimate that the income of the target farmers are increased about 4 time comparing to rain fed wheat cultivation, therefore the farmers are not rely on grant funding or government subsidies after project complation
Return on investment
The total cost of the project is about #2 million and the income of the farmers increased 4 time then before of project implementation and this income will be continue for several years.
