No results found.As Cameroon seeks to develop its livestock sector while simultaneously making it more climate smart, more capacity is needed to understand how livestock can contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Funded by the World Bank, PRODEL is a large scale development project that aims to improve the productivity and competitiveness of targeted livestock production systems in Cameroon. It also represents an opportunity to adapt to climate change and mitigate its effects. To help quantify the climate benefits of investing in climate smart livestock development, this project aimed to provide technical assistance and capacity building to support PRODEL to measure its co benefits and strengthen its contribution to climate smart livestock. -

Also available in:
No results found.A World Bank-supported study (2016) in Bangladesh revealed that the livestock and fisheries subsectors were underexploited despite being vital drivers of agricultural growth. The Department of Livestock Services (DLS) received USD 500 million from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project, designed to target all main livestock value chains in the country. To assist the LDDP, the government requested technical assistance from FAO. The aim of the FAO project was to increase resilient and inclusive agroeconomic growth through strategies and best practices that diversify agricultural production and enhance productivity. Specifically, it would provide technical and methodological advice, coaching and mentoring to the LDDP staff responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the LDPP and the development of specific products and deliverables.
