| Project Name: | Training for Women's groups in Niger |
| Project Description: |
CARE's Training for Women's groups project works in Dosso, Tahoua and Tillaberi districts with the aim to develop the livestock sector by strengthening women livestock producers' access to credit and training in animal
husbandry and transformation and marketing techniques for animal products. The project targets 600 women's
groups or about 12,000 women. Expected results of the project include: 1) strengthened technical and organizational capacities of women's groups; 2) increased revenues earned from livestock production; 3) improved household food security; 4) improved social capital from social exchanges; 5) increased contact and establishment of production and business networks; 6) an adapted saving and credit system; 7) women's enhanced ability to amass and retain capital; 8) strengthened technical and managerial capacities of associations and public institutions; and 9) reduction of conflicts related to access to natural resources. All of these results are expected at household, groups/local institutions, community, inter-community, communal and national levels. In addition, the project strives to strengthen the capacity of its partners, Association pour la Redynamisation de l'Elevage au Niger (AREN) and Eleveurs Sans Frontieres (ESF Dangol). CARE, AREN, and ESF Dangol work in consultation with the technical services of the Ministry of Animal Resources (MRA) and the Ministry of Social Development (MSD), both of whom already support producers in the livestock sector. This partnership approach and capacity strengthening strategy for partners enable the project to achieve its objective of contributing to the reduction of poverty of the targeted beneficiaries. |
