As part of the implementation of the West African Food System Resilience Programme (PRSA), Niger is committed to supporting the development of 3 strategic value chains, including the Livestock-Meat-Dairy sector. One of the priorities set by the programme is to strengthen the organisation of players in these sectors.
With this in mind, the PRSA, in partnership with the Directorate for Cooperative Action and the Promotion of Breeders' Organisations (DAC/POE, Ministry of Livestock), organised workshops on the state of play of livestock-meat-milk colleges in the 4 regions (Diffa, Zinder, Tahoua and Tillaberi) in programme's intervention zone.
The aim of this activity is to draw up an inventory of the colleges of the Livestock-Meat-Dairy interprofession, together with action to make them operational for effective development.
These workshops, which brought together all the players in the Livestock-Meat-Dairy sector, provided an opportunity :
- list the various Inter-Professional Groups (IP) in the livestock-meat-dairy sectors in the intervention ;
- carry out an in-depth analysis of the organisations, the way they operate and the governance of the targeted interprofessions
- propose action to promote this value chain with the support of the PRSA.
