Livestock
and Rangelands Development Project in the Eastern Region - Phase
II
The main objective is to increase incomes and improve living conditions
among rural poor people in the eastern region. There is a particular
focus on women and girls, whose income-generating activities are
poorly developed and who have little access to rural financial services.
The project will create new opportunities to generate incomes and
build autonomy among local communities, to enable them to rehabilitate
and improve management of natural resources.
Building upon the first phase, the project aims to:
- strengthen capacity among grass-roots organizations
to promote participation in identifying and managing investment
opportunities
- improve animal production systems to add value,
promote quality and create linkages with potential markets
- promote diversification of income-generating
activities by improving access to technical, commercial and financial
services
