continue the good work- Build the network of F.A. practitioners with all the
relevant stakeholders- Nearby villages approached ILRI to build their capacity
to run the programme without expecting any financial benefit
Challenges/Key Issues/Obstacles
Organisational level- SHGs were formed without motivating and capacity building of villagers as an overnight process to distribute the benefits from the project
o Stakeholder cooperation:- Faced lot of problems as project partners/ govt. / local NGOs are distributing lot of materials as gift and paying money to community for their time
o Household/ farmer/ community level: - Villagers are too poor to buy any inputs/ services for
livestock - Villagers are not able to pay for First Aid serviceso Animal production/marketing- Very poor access to the market by road- - Poor demand within the village- - Villagers are quite dispersed to organize the market

Lessons learnt/best practices
Approach used:- Should not be supply driven
o Institutional/organisational aspects :- Implementing partners should have better coordination- Implementers should have well understanding on
participatory approach of livelihood improvement
oAnimal production/marketing - Implementing any livelihood programme is much more
difficult in a very remote areas that too with very poor people
o Stakeholder involvement /cooperation- Stakeholders should involve right from the planning stage- Individual farming unit is better than group unit
