  • Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) play a key role in improving livestock productivity and nutrition in rural areas but often face challenges due to their remote locations. To address this, a new project will launch a Digital Mentoring and Continuing Education (DMCE) platform and a Virtual Collection Center (VCC) tool for goat marketing. The DMCE platform will provide training and support, with top performing CAHWs eligible for promotion to Junior Technicians, improving their income and service quality. The VCC app will help CAHWs organize collective sales and secure better prices for livestock, ultimately increasing farmers’ income and strengthening cooperative goat marketing. The project aims to reach 400 CAHWs, 50,000 farming families, and 116 Social Entrepreneurial Women Cooperatives. The project is a collaboration between Heifer Project Nepal, University of Florida, and University of California Davis.
