PPF - PROJET D'APPUI AU SYSTEME D'ELEVAGE PASTORAL

The Livestock System Support Project (PASEP) has been identified under the Rural Development Intervention Program (RDP) in Chad. The PASEP aims at consolidating the achievements of the National Livestock Project (NCP) carried out from 1989 to 1999 on the one hand and, on the other hand, to contribute to the reduction of poverty and the improvement of food security in the country. Unlike the PNE, which has been implemented throughout the country, PASEP is mainly concerned with the inking zone of pastoral livestock keeping, while taking into account the transhumance zones. The project area thus circumscribed had not until then benefited from a project designed to integrate all the actors of the sector and relevant actions that strengthen the subsector's contribution to the national economy. The project is a priority for Chad and will contribute to reducing poverty and improving people's food security. All economic operators of livestock are involved. It will contribute to professionalization, the promotion of the competitiveness of pastoral sectors and the strengthening of service providers. The expected outputs of the project are: strengthening and supporting associations of breeders, livestock traders and butchers through professionalisation, the emergence of their local and national representations; support for training of actors; support for the competitiveness of livestock products by modernizing the production infrastructure (structures and pastoral perimeters), marketing (livestock markets and transport corridors), processing (slaughter areas, slaughter stalls); and capacity building of service providers (rehabilitation of some extension infrastructure, certification of animal products). The project is scheduled for a 5-year execution period with a total cost excluding taxes, excluding customs, estimated at UA 24.14 million.
