$12.5 million to reduce rural poverty and household food insecurity on a sustainable basis in livestock-based farming systems

 

  • Linking Farmers to Markets:

GAFSP financing will increase access to domestic and international markets on a sustainable basis. The outcomes of the component would be (i) market channels for livestock commodities further identified and accessed; (ii) incomes of farmers increased; (iii) capacity of cooperatives increased to operate as small agri-business units.

 

  • Raising Livestock Productivity and Quality:

GAFSP financing will improve livestock productivity and quality in order to enhance access to domestic and regional markets, to protect the environment and to raise herder income.

 

  • Technical Assistance:

GAFSP financing will establish effective program management and monitoring mechanisms, integrated in the existing structures at MoFALI, in particular, the Information, Monitoring, and Evaluation Department.  Knowledge-sharing with relevant government and donor-funded interventions as well as with the private sector will be a key program activity in order to identify potential synergies and complementarities, and to disseminate program results and experiences.
