ILRI - International Livestock Research Institute

Published purpose

The project aims to increase incomes and improve food security for 675,000 smallholder farmers and their families in four regions in north and southwestern Ethiopia: Amhara, Oromia, Tigray, and the Southern Nations and Nationalities and Peoples Region. The project helps smallholder farmers to increase their incomes by supporting the production and sale of high-value livestock and agricultural crops. It is designed to provide technical assistance, training, and mentoring to enable government specialists to better support agricultural producers with improved production and marketing techniques. The project is also linking farmers with small and medium-sized businesses to provide improved services and inputs such as seeds.
