The project expected results will be achieved through implementation of nine project components: 1) Development of coffee arabica production, processing and marketing; 2) Development of beekeeping and honey production; 3) Development of rose production and trade; 4) Development of sub-tropical fruits production, processing and marketing; 5) Strengthening capacity of small-scale fishermen and fish farmers; 6) Strengthening capacity of small-scale livestock herders; 7) Development of rain-fed cereals production; 8) Enhancing value addition from smallholdings and rural activities; and 9) Strengthening MoEWA's capacity in sustainable management of rangelands, forests and natural resources to support rural livelihoods.

An overall plan and budget are developed and approved, including activities and outputs that are expected to be accomplished under each component.

For achieving the objectives of the rose component, several activities have been taken up that involves good crop production and protection technologies among rose and jasmine farmers to grow healthy crops.
