| Project Detail |
The Integrated Livestock Value Chain Development Project in Burkina Faso (PDCVIE-BF) is designed to help add value to livestock production by developing and integrating meat product value chains. PDCVIE-BF implementation will help to: (i) increase the added value of the livestock meat (cattle and small ruminants), pork and poultry sectors; (ii) promote food security; (iii) increase economic competitiveness by adding value to animal resources; (iv) create jobs and thereby combat poverty; and (v) build the resilience of agro-pastoralists and agro-pastoral systems to climate change. The project is designed as an ecosystem based on a value chain approach in which stakeholders strengthen links, become more professional by specialising around the various links in the value chains and industrial units, and establish frameworks for consultation. The model will involve the private sector, stock breeders/cooperatives, public institutions, and research/innovation, and will adopt the TAAT approach promoted by the Bank. The project is structured around three (3) components including two (2) operational components and one (1) component for the management and implementation of project. The components are: (i) Increase productivity and production in target herds, (ii) promote standard processing of targeted meat products and their access to markets, and (iii) Project coordination and management.
Project Objectives
PDCVIE-BF aims to help add value to livestock production by developing and integrating meat product value chains. Its specific objectives are to: (i) sustainably improve the productivity and production of the targeted livestock (cattle, small ruminants, pigs, and poultry); (ii) build the resilience of agro-pastoralists and agro-pastoral systems to climate change; and (iii) promote standardised processing of animal products and improve their access to national and regional markets.
Beneficiaries
The number of direct project beneficiaries is estimated at 30,000 value chain actors, including 15,000 women. The project also targets 7,500 internally displaced persons (IDPs). In addition, PDCVIE-BF will create about 4,000 direct jobs and improve the living conditions of about 210,000 indirect beneficiaries. |
