Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) launched the PACE project in 2015 with IFAD to promote microenterprises and reduce poverty. Implemented by DFED in Barguna, it enhanced agricultural commercialization for 6,100 households. Farmers adopted high-yield crops like BARI Mung 6, aromatic rice, and sunflower, boosting income, productivity, and market access. The project created jobs, improved livelihoods, and increased nutritional diversity. Farmers earned significant profits and accessed quality inputs. The study highlights its sustainable, impactful, and replicable success.
