All land recipients who have settled in the Social Land Concession (SLC) sites are adopting backyard and agricultural farming using improved agricultural technology learned in project-sponsored training and demonstration plots compared to the project target of 60%. To date, a total of 3,148 land recipients (104% of the target) have been selected for all SLC sites, and a total of 10,273.13 hectares (103% of the target) have been completely registered as state Public Disclosure Copy private lands for all project SLC sites. Land has been used as follows: (i) 5,575.54 hectares (54%) for agriculture; 266.13 hectares (3%) for residences; 950.40 hectares (9%) for public infrastructure; 1,648.63 hectares (16%) for community forestry; and the balance of 1,832.43 hectares (18%) as reserved agricultural and residential lands. A recent survey suggests that the project’s accomplishments have led to increased incomes which have enabled beneficiaries to acquire additional assets (motorcycles, cows, etc.) and make shelter improvements. The socio-economic status of land recipients and their families on going assesses, and gain a better understanding of their livelihoods and problems and results were meant to show the project's impacts and inform the design of any follow up intervention.

Land title certificates should be delivered to them by the end of 2014. The project is scheduled to close in March 2015 following the recent restructuring; however, due to the varying stages of implementation progress in the project sites, continued strengthening of service provision to beneficiaries is required. Continued financial support for the project would strengthen the sustainability of livelihood improvements for land recipients.
