Smallholder Livestock Development Project

The project worked to improve the incomes of disadvantaged, landless people and poor people, with special focus on women. It expanded the application of a technical package for poultry developed to provide income opportunities for landless people and marginal farmers, primarily women, on a sustainable basis. The project also developed and tested approaches for increasing the nutrition available for cattle, goats and poultry at farm level.
