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.
