Strengthening Smallholders In Livestock Value Chain (SLVC)
Duration: November 2012 – December 2017
Goal
The SLVC project targets on building a holistic system solution with increased production and improved market accessibility for smallholder’s products, keeping them as an integral part of value chain and leading to advocacy for change of current practices affecting goat and dairy production at the national level. Its goal is to reduce importation of live goats by 30% and milk by 10% by involving 138,000 smallholders in value chain enterprises of goat and dairy for increasing their family income and nutrition level. As of July 2o17, the project has benefitted more than 130,000 smallholder families in 30 districts and federated them into farmer’s institutions (self-help groups and cooperatives).
