Being traditional pastoralists, they would like to develop a livestock breeding program which would increase accessibility to animal proteins and generate income.

It has been decided that the project will first focus on goat keeping, and later on, after the community proves their interest and capabilities of managing a project of a smaller scale, to introduce cows.

PROJECT GOALS

Stage I

• To ensure sustainable quality food supply for the local community and thus to decrease hunger and malnutrition. The role of the neighbours is to:

- help the community in obtaining livestock
- help to ensure training for the livestock management
- help them to increase milk production and the quality of milk

Stage II

• To establish diary cooperative to ensure the sustainable livelihood for the community. The role of the neighbours is to:

- help the community with cooperative management training and dairy production
- help them to diversify their products and to find market for the products

HOW TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS

To make sure that the milk goats are the way to start, we are about to establish a learning farm where the community will get 2-3 goats and be learning by doing.
After that we will use the results from the field and make a plan for the project.
