The Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support (L-PRES) initiative in Enugu State is actively collaborating with the state government and local authorities to support livestock farmers. This partnership aims to enhance productivity, resilience, and commercialization in the livestock sector.
Some of the key developments include:
Training Programs: Over 450 livestock farmers across Enugu’s 17 LGAs have been trained in business development and investment planning to boost productivity and resilience.
Profiling and Sensitization: L-PRES has conducted profiling exercises in various LGAs, including Enugu South, North, Nkanu East, and West and so on to collect data for targeted interventions and improve resource allocation.
Government Collaboration: Local governments have pledged support for these initiatives, recognizing their potential to improve farmers’ livelihoods. Leaders have committed to mobilizing farmers and facilitating these programs.
World Bank Support: The World Bank has pledged assistance to complement state efforts in livestock value chain development, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices and economic growth.
These efforts reflect a strong partnership between L-PRES, the Enugu State government, and stakeholders to transform the livestock sector.
