    S/C 1.1. Development of fruit tree cultivation that is resilient to climate change:

    PADERMO will support:

    • The creation of 7,500 ha of new tree plantations of species adapted to arid climatic conditions (almond, carob, fig, and olive trees);
    • The rehabilitation of 260 ha (carob and olive trees) of old plantations;
    • The training and support of arborists (100 awareness sessions, 140 arboriculture training sessions, 48 producer training fields (CEP), producer exchange visits);
    • The professional training of 12 young nursery growers, 50% of whom are women;
    • Establishment of a model tree nursery in Driouch.

    S/C 1.2. Animal sectors.

    PADERMO will support the development of small ruminant farming and beekeeping through:

    • The rehabilitation of 20 existing watering points and the creation of 12 new watering points;

    • Approximately 34 other promising types of AGRs (e.g., rabbit farming, hydroponic barley production, table olive preservation, etc.).

    S/C 1.4. Resilient hydro-agricultural developments and rural infrastructure:

    Through this sub-component, PADERMO aims to improve the condition and efficiency of hydro-agricultural developments, protect agricultural land from erosion, and open up rural areas through four areas of activity:

    • Hydro-agricultural developments for an irrigated area of approximately 2,600 ha: concreting of 68 km of seguias, construction of seven diversion weirs, and training of agricultural water user associations;
    • Rural roads: rehabilitation of 108 km of roads and training in maintenance for local authority officials;
    • Protection of land against erosion: construction of 81,000 m3 of gabions and CES action on approximately 1,000 ha of erosion-prone planting areas;
    • Support for water governance and climate resilience through the financing of an operational research and development program focused on water resource management for irrigation and a pilot installation of agro-meteorological stations and 360 connected soil sensors.

    Component 2. Support for producers and product marketing

    S/C 2.1. Literacy and financial education:
