• Strengthen the health information and education systems. Make women and men aware of health care problems and AIDS.

• Strengthen village institutions by improving and/or transferring organizational skills locally.

• Improve food security by promoting careful management of natural resources. (Cultivation of farm fields and creation of cereal banks)

• Promote income-generating activities in order to improve the local standard of living, especially for women.
