Local Cooperation Fund (LCF) in Indonesia Jembatan Masa Depan (JMD) an Indonesian-registered local NGO operating in Aceh province proposes to assist a self-formed and previously assisted women's coco farming association to double its membership and plantation/tree portfolio improve cocoa bean prod
uction by 50% transition to an 85% organic fertilizer and pest/disease control system (IPM) and increase farm gate prices by 25% over the life of a 3 year integrated farming project that uses significant cultivation soil management propagation and business
 management/peer farmer education training.A labor intensive livelihood cocoa farming is traditionally a man's domain. The women of Simpang Jernih however are determined to make their small cooperative farms as productive and sustainable as they can be. In
 November 2012 JMD sold some of its capital assets in order to make an additional 6-month commitment to the fledgling women's cocoa association that included the provision of basic tools association planning and expansion assistance and an extensive week-l
ong training by a subject matter expert available to the entire community which would serve as the basis for both a sub-district-wide effort to engage in good farming practices that improve their livelihoods and assist in the preservation of the protected 
forest and for the association's transition to the next level of economic development and autonomy.  JMD and the women's association propose to build off the success of this last phase of the cocoa farming initiative which will end in May 2013 by embarking
 in June 2013 on a 3-year Phase III cocoa farming assistance project that includes successive agriculture and business/marketing trainings the development of stronger disease resistant trees (IPM) the doubling of the association membership and land/tree ma
ss and the transition from chemical to organic fertilizer production which if successful will be a community-wide effort and financial/agricultural benefit that reflects the community's widely accepted integrated farming model.

tening. Appropriate medication helps many patients and they become seizure-free. The problem is the commitment to medication of the patients and their families because of stigma and wrong information about epilepsy. More than 80 % of people with epilepsy d
o not have appropriate medication for their condition. This is mainly because of the stigma and also because of weak infrastructure in Malawi. Children with epilepsy in Malawi are denied the opportunity to attend school. They report painful experiences of 
isolation discrimination ridicule abuse and exclusion by teachers and peers even the family members. The project will effect also on the availablity of mediacation in the long run.
