Rural Livestock Restocking and Livelihoods Project will involve 5 communities in the Nomo, Dama, Gaura and Koya Chiefdoms. A total of 50 farming households (250 inhabitants) will be directly targeted. The project has a strong focus on integrating conservation agriculture and managing natural resources for improved yields, enhanced conservation and sustainable livelihoods. It will test, offer and promote economically viable and environmentally sound forestry practices with the help of individual farmers, farmer based organisations (FBO), and community based organisations (CBO) and local government structures. This practice will help mean intensifying agricultural land use in lowland and upland areas while promoting soil and water conservation, rangeland management and agribusiness.
