Description

Animal husbandry is an important contributor to Chad’s economy. Development of the sector is hampered, however, by a number of organizational, technical and economic constraints.
Project activities will therefore include : • institution strengthening across the entire livestock sub-sector ; • provision of support to livestock associations, pastoral interest groups and other related organizations ; • construction and rehabilitation of veterinary stations ; • expansion of facilities at the National School of Technical Livestock Agents ; • rehabilitation of trails ; • drilling of wells and water points ; • planting of trees, fodder plants and shrubs ; • provision of training, which will comprise literacy programs, livestock management courses and food processing techniques, all with a strong emphasis on women’s participation. Once completed, a minimum of 250,000 households are expected to benefit from the project.
