The SCILD
(Strong CSOs for Inclusive Livestock Value Chain Development) project, with
funding through the European Union and Plan International Finland, has sought

overall objective to
contribute to the improved position and social and economic empowerment of

initiatives managed by eight CSO have achieved almost 70% of the planned
results by the end of April 2019 showing local CSOs’ ability to complete
activities as per their plans. So far, 2002 youth (1296F/706M) have
participated in the activities proposed by CSOs on livestock value chains,
especially on semi-intensive livestock management, and 1571 youth (911F/660M)
have also shown their increased interest to continue working in the livestock
value chain.
