The assessments made in 2019 found relatively poor performance of the cooperatives in terms of business management, financial management and governance. VCDP considers agriculture producer organizations (particularly cooperatives, market committees) as a most potential business vehicle to upscale the local value chain and reduces the inefficiencies in existing market systems, so has been supporting the identified cooperatives and market centres to perform them as the ‘business hub’ to provide a wide range of business development services for their member producers.įor the better market linkage at local level, the project has been supporting 18 cooperatives and 14 market centres to strengthen the existing facilities, equip with better market and price information systems, and build their managerial capacities. Better market linkage is one of the major outcomes of the project together along with improved agricultural productivity and reduced post-harvest losses.

For example, many wonderful websites, such as foreign services or the websites of the Russian opposition, have been blocked. Tor helps me bypass blocking and get more privacy. Here in Russia, blocking on the Internet is extremely common. This anonymous user shared their story about Tor, which underlines the importance of our anti-censorship efforts: Seeing this passion in action, while keeping tens of thousands of Russians connected to the open internet, has been inspiring. The entire Tor community immediately jumped into action to keep people online. One element of this year's work that inspires me, and shows the power of the Tor community, is the response to the internet censorship in Russia and Ukraine.

We've also worked hard to make Tor faster, improve the health of our network, and connect with our community through training and events. In the last year, the Tor community has mobilized against increasing global censorship, more than doubled the number of bridges on the Tor network (!!), and responded to tens of thousands of user support requests.

On behalf of the team, I am thrilled to share with you the Tor Project's latest Annual Report!
