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.
