High population growth has led to demand for livestock products that are higher than domestic production, thereby forcing the country to invest its small financial resources in the massive import of milk and meat.
 
Objective : The overall project objective is to contribute to food self-sufficiency and poverty reduction.
The specific objective of the project is to satisfy domestic demand for milk and beef, as well as contribute to increasing the incomes of producers
The main components of the project are :

•  Outreach and extension activities,
•  Intensification of cattle breeding,
• Veterinary activities,
• Promotion of cattle breeding products,
• Institution building, and
• Project management.

 
The project contributes to sustainable increase in milk and meat production, through the introduction of appropriate technological packages into stockbreeding in villages and per urban areas (training of stockbreeders and all operators in the sub-sector, improvement of animal health, genetic improvement and feeding).
