Disseminating innovative practices to support the goat industry and strengthen the resilience of breeders
This region is one that is traditionally characterized by high poverty levels. With nearly 60% of the population living below the poverty line, coupled with a climate crises, the region faces growing food insecurity. We must strengthen the goat farming sector and ensure its resilience by introducing innovative, sustainable and profitable, farming and production techniques.
This project aims to strengthen the goat sector’s value chain, from farming through the processing and production of goat-derived products. This project promotes women’s empowerment while fostering job opportunities in the sector.

OUR APPROACH
Together with Goat Farmer Groups, we will:

- Provide better access to agro-veterinary services.
- Adopt innovative plant-based feed production techniques, ensuring a sustainable and reliable source of animal feed.
All told, this will increase income, jobs, quality of life, animal feed production, and breeding capacities.
In addition, with Craftsmen and Processors, we will support the opening of a butcher shop and small dairy plant that will provide a diverse supply of derived products for better valuation of the goat sector.
