The overall goal of the Puntland Pastoralists Program (PPP) is to reduce vulnerability of pastoral communities through increased resilience of livestock production to climatic variability. The final goals are: 1) increased access to essential animal health services for the target pastoral communities, and 2) improved understanding and consensus among the stakeholders on natural resource management needs. The program is composed of three components:
1) Community-based animal health services component: The program will utilize business-oriented approach to strengthen community animal health services run by 60 Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs), and facilitate technical support provided for CAHWs by 4 private veterinarians.
2) Institutaionl framework component: The program will strengthen an institutional framework for community animal health service delivery among the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Environment (MoLAE), the private sector and pastoral communities.
3) Natural resource management component: The program will conduct an externally commissioned multi-sectoral study on pastoral livelihoods and natural resource management and integrate community-led action research activities into the ongoing interventions under the community animal health component.
CARE partners with VSF-Suisse and 4 local NGOs. The participants include 60 CAHWs, 4 Community Development Committees, 4 veterinarians, the Puntland Livestock Professional Association, and the MoLAE. The program will benefit approximately 20,000 pastoralists in 4 districts in Bari, Nugal and Mudug regions of Puntland. |
