Number of families: 360
Animals: Poultry, bees, agouti and pigs.

Brief synopsis: Over the next 3 years it is hoped that 360 families will be presented with a range of animals, the type of animal they receive ultimately depending on their present situation and subject to conditional limitations. The benefit of each animal differs but those that receive them should be in a position to pass-on to others within this period. Training on how to care for and manage these animals successfully will be provided by a French NGO, AVSF-CICDA, a local agricultural assistance organization, ICAT and Elevages sans Frontières.
Pass-on obligations: Normal Pass-on Procedures applies.
