Mali livestock II

Project to support the development of Mali's national livestock sector. The project has two major objectives. The first is to increase the production and productivity of Mali's national livestock herd through a series of interventions directed toward a more cost-effective and ecologically sound use of existing human, land, and water resources. The second is to help the Government of the Republic of Mali (GRM) establish an organizational capacity to: (1) plan and direct the improvement of operational effieciency and financial viability of public livestock sector support systems; and (2) stimulate momentum in livestock marketing through the systematic exploitation of domestic and foreign demand. Amendment of 6/13/79 incorporates the ongoing Central Veterinary Laboratory Project (6250610), the completed Mali Livestock I project (6880201), and the ongoing Tsetse Fly and Trypanosomiasis Research project (6250926) into this project. Activities originally under these separate projects will continue while negotiations take place with the GRM for new sector project. (Editor's note: This latter is Project 6880218, also, and confusingly, entitled Mali Livestock II.) (PD-BAF-955)
