Livestock projects strengthen rural livelihoods and the overall economy of the country. Livestock is the backbone of the rural economy, playing a key role in food security, job creation, and trade both domestically and internationally.

Objectives of Livestock Projects

The livestock projects we support focus on:

• Supporting Animal Husbandry: We assist pastoralists in improving the health and productivity of their livestock by providing training, knowledge, and modern techniques for better livestock management.
• Animal Health Services: We support veterinary services, including vaccinations, disease treatment, and general animal health management, ensuring livestock remain healthy.
• Sustainable Grazing Practices: We promote sustainable grazing and land management practices to protect the environment, increase livestock productivity, and reduce costs and losses.

Importance of Livestock

Livestock plays a vital role in the rural economy and the national economy. It contributes to local and international trade and is a major source of income for pastoralist families and farming communities.

Impact of Livestock Projects

These projects help communities maintain healthy livestock, increase productivity, and create sustainable economic opportunities. They also strengthen the livestock trade and markets both locally and internationally, positioning Somalia as a key player in livestock production in the Horn of Africa.
