implementation of the project.
-Livestock (small ruminants), which were owned by
participants, have been completely looted by the rebels during
the war.
-There is no livestock available within the communities.
-Access to livestock is limited because of lack of funds.
It is in the view of this background that the Alisa Women’s Farming
Project in collaboration with RIAP-Lunsar would intervene to
alleviate the communities’ dire needs.
The project package also serves as a means of replacement of lost
livestock. Since the farm families lack funds and alternative
resources to purchase them, this will give back livestock to the
participants who have lost everything in life.

families in five (5) communities in the MAKARIE GBANTI
CHIEFDOM, BOMBALI DISTRICT.

INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY
Alisa Women’s Farming Project has carried out similar project in the
past in the operational communities. There was a livestock bank
project, which involved over 35 cows, 45 pigs, 42 goats and 24
sheep but was destroyed by the war.
The use of RIAP-Lunsar as supervising agency and the training of
the executive and animators of AWFP will ensure an effective and
efficient delivery system. The capacity of the institution will develop
to a high level to be able to handle management of the people.
PROJECT FEASIBILITYAND SUSTAINABILITY
The people in the operational communities are peasent farmers who
have been involved in all their lives in livestock (cows, goats, sheep
and pigs). The technology is not new, it part of the way of life of the
people.
The people are familiar with the raising of cows, goats, sheep and
pigs and the breeds that would be selected and bought are suited to
the areas.
Also cows, goats, sheep and pigs are easy to raise involving little or
no cost and use of locally available materials for food and housing
which ensures continuity needs external support.
