The PHP project has operated since 1987 in Malakand Division of NWFP.
In 1996 it was up-scaled to Provincial level. During Phase VII, the
project decentralized its operational structure to the regions in
the South, North, East and Centre of the Province. The institutional
partners of the project included Agricultural Research System (ARS),
Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE), Federal Seed Certification
and Registration Department (FSCRD). With its contracted partner,
CABI-Bioscience, the PHP organized and executed a comprehensive Integrated
Crop Management Programme. Quality and certified Vegetable Seed and
Nursery Fruit Tree Production were also supported by the project.
Two separate wings of Integrated Marketing Services department of
the project have become self-funded service providers in NWFP, providing
market & technical information and training, through their own
networks. Discretionary funds enabled a multiple range of partners
to execute small region specific projects in horticulture.
In the post project scenario, support was extended to its partners:
a) to consolidate state of the art maintenance of three established
Germ Plasm Units and their complementation with registered varieties
b) to further internalize participatory extension methodology. This
support came to an end in June 2006. Intercooperation in Pakistan
is proud to retain valuable knowledge and innovative methodologies
for its partner organizations and practices them in other on-going
project interventions.
