AQZ has experience and capabilities in building resilience to climatic and economic shocks in communities through the creation of productive assets in form of weirs (small dams) integrated with gardens, fish ponds, poultry (broilers, indigenous, pegions), apiculture, fruit production, tree nurseries and rabbits. Through the Participatory Technology Development Approach (PTD), AQZ works with the communities on feasible site identification for initiatives that are integrated preferably taking a micro watershed approach and considering complementarity of efforts rather than stand-alone projects. Making use of simple and low cost site specific technical designs, farmers with the high end technical expert advisory and guidance from AQZ, take an active part in establishment of highly productive yet sustainable infrastructure.
