Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The objective of the project is to contribute to poverty reduction, improved household incomes, food security and nutrition through enhanced small ruminants production, processing and marketing. The Project aims to transform small ruminants farming into sustainable commercialised and profitable venture that contributes to income generation, employment creation and poverty reduction. The Project will also contribute to increased foreign exchange earnings from export of goats and sheep including their products and by-products.

The Project consists of three (3) components namely:

  1. Small Ruminants Value Chain Improvement, with 2 sub- components
    1. Infrastructure for Small Ruminants Breeding and Input Supply and
    2. Infrastructure for Small Ruminants Production, Processing, and Marketing);
  2. Development of Livestock Production (Enhanced LISP) with 2 sub-components
    1. Livestock Production and Animal Health, and
    2. Livestock Infrastructure); and

    4. *information not provided at the time of disclosure*

Benefits: The Project is expected to directly benefit 1,000,000 livestock keeping households including 350,000 female-headed households and youth. The Project will mobilise participating farmers into fully trained farmer groups or associations in major livestock production areas and around community-based Livestock Service Centres (LSC). It will increase employment opportunities in livestock husbandry, marketing, and livestock products value chain. Public and private sector service capacity for the delivery of livestock extension and disease prevention and control services will be enhanced. The Project will also facilitate participation of the private sector through leasing out some of the structures within selected LSC which will be used as outlet for veterinary drugs and livestock feeds supplements. About 6,000,000 people, including 3,000,000 women and youth, will indirectly benefit from increases in supply of quality livestock products. The Project will directly create 3,000 permanent jobs and 125,000 seasonal jobs and about 500,000 indirect seasonal jobs along the small ruminant value chain. The associated projected outputs in terms of small ruminant numbers, during the project life, will be indicated in the Project

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF AfDB

The Independent Review Mechanism (IRM), which is administered by the Compliance Review and Mediation Unit (CRMU), is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an African Development Bank (AfDB)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the IRM, it may assist you by either seeking to address your problems by facilitating a dispute resolution dialogue between you and those implementing the project and/or investigating whether the AfDB complied with its policies to prevent environmental and social harms. You can submit a complaint electronically by emailing crmuinfo@afdb.org, b.kargougou@afdb.org, b.fall@afdb.org, and/or s.toure@afdb.org. You can learn more about the IRM and how to file a complaint at https://www.afdb.org/en/independent-review-mechanism/.
