• Coordinate with veterinary services, agricultural directorates, and relevant stakeholders.
• Verify and assess 20 new and 20 previous livestock-keeping households.
• Conduct technical assessments to determine livestock support needs.
• Procure and distribute sheep assets and essential livestock-related equipment to 20 eligible households.
• Provide regular field-based technical advisory services to all 40 livestock households covering animal health, feeding practices, reproductive management, disease prevention, milk production improvement, and herd management.
• Conduct regular monitoring visits to track livestock health, productivity, reproductive performance, and overall livelihood outcomes.

This component aims to improve livestock productivity and strengthen livestock-based livelihoods through technical support, monitoring, and targeted productive asset assistance.

A total of 40 livestock-keeping households will be supported:

• 20 vulnerable households will receive sheep assets (an average of eight sheep per household) and essential livestock-related equipment based on technical assessments.
• 20 livestock-keeping households previously supported under livelihood interventions (4633, IR USA) will receive continued technical support and monitoring.

All 40 households will benefit from regular field visits and advisory services delivered by qualified technical staff. Support will focus on:

• Animal health management and disease prevention.
• Feeding optimisation and nutritional management.
• Reproductive management and herd improvement.
• Milk production enhancement.
• Lamb and calf survival improvement.
• Good livestock husbandry practices.

The project will work closely with local veterinary services and relevant stakeholders to ensure effective technical follow-up and monitoring. Livestock performance indicators, including animal health, productivity, and reproductive outcomes, will be regularly monitored throughout implementation.

The intervention builds on existing agricultural and livestock activities already practiced by beneficiaries, increasing the likelihood of sustainability beyond the project period. By combining productive asset support with continuous technical guidance, beneficiaries will be better positioned to maintain and improve their production systems independently.

The project promotes inclusive participation by ensuring equitable access for refugee and host community households, women, older persons, and persons with disabilities. Selection criteria and support mechanisms will be designed to remove participation barriers and ensure that assistance reaches the most vulnerable households while strengthening social cohesion within target communities.
