Healthy livestock are a key component to many of Niger’s farming families, who rely on animals such as cattle, camels and goats to help till the land, transport goods to markets for sale, and as a source of food for their own families, and for sale or trade. And healthier livestock means herds can grow over time, providing economic stability and generating increased income for these families. The Niger Compact helped farmers with existing livestock to improve the health and productivity of their animals through public vaccination campaigns, modernizing 14 livestock markets, and providing 6,432 goats to over 1,600 farmers.
