4-B
Organizational Information
Purpose/Mission:
The ‘4B’ club was introduced in for the purpose of providing youths with the opportunity to improve themselves through some project work such as poultry raising, sewing and vegetable gardening. Vegetable production remains the most popular project that the ‘4B’ club member chose. Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture through a Government programme, is recently trying to encourage the use of the ‘4B’ club to boost vegetable production and supply in the country. A “4B” club is made of 25 members who are interested in vegetable production. Each “4B” club is headed by a ‘4B’ coordinator who is appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture.
Clubs, Members, and Volunteers :
4B has grown from a program of 12 clubs and 500 members in 1968 to 512 clubs with 21,584 members and 2,059 volunteer leaders in 2001. The program is made up of both community and school clubs.
