FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO)
Project title:
Distribution of vaccines and restocking of poultry to affected
households, who have lost their animals due to the effects of “El
Niño” and other recurrent animal diseases.
Sector:
Agriculture / Livestock
Overall Objective:
To support the poultry production for the “El Niño’s” affected most
vulnerable population who have lost their animals in order to restock
or maintain their flocks.
Specific Objective:
To enable the affected households to restock their flocks and reduce
their mortality due to diseases (i.e. Newcastle) thus ensuring
adequate animal protein production and intake (i.e. eggs and meat) as
well as generation of income through selling of surplus.
Expected Outputs:
5’000 number of households have received support (both animals
and vaccine) to restore and enhance their poultry production.
Target Beneficiaries:
Most vulnerable households, especially female headed, in the Region
Mara, Mwanza, Arusha, Shinyanga, Dodoma, Kagera and Lindi of
Tanzania who lost their animals due to the effects of “El Nino” in
addition to other animal diseases.
Stakeholders:
MALF, NGOs, FAO, district and local authorities.
Project Duration:
March - December 2016
Funds Requested
US$ 269’000
Summary
A good share of the small scale poultry owning households in the “El Niño’s” affected region have
lost their poultry production, mainly chicken and ducks, due to heavy rains, hail incidences and
floods. In addition to that, in the last years, poultry production has been drastically reduced in the
country due to widespread outbreak of the Newcastle disease coupled with lack of vaccines.
Production of animal products such as eggs and meat constitute an important and only source of
protein for many vulnerable households in the rural areas. As such, it is important to guarantee the
restocking of the poultry sector together with the provision of vaccine and trainings to avoid further
losses and eventually boost this backyard animal keeping practice. FAO will improve beneficiaries’
poultry keeping activities through provision of trainings which will mainly focus on improved
production techniques and marketing.
Activities
FAO will provide a combination of poultry package and vaccines to the most affected households,
especially those female headed, which have lost their animals. In addition, training on improved
rearing practices and marketing will allow beneficiaries implement the acquired knowledge and
increase their production for own consumption and generation additional income.

Project title:
Implement Cash For Work (CFW) activities for the rehabilitation of
affected local rural infrastructures (irrigation scheme and feeder
roads) in “El Niño’s” affected region.
Sector:
Agriculture / Livestock
Overall Objective:
To generate a temporary source of income for the most affected
households, which mainly depended on agriculture casual labour,
and rehabilitate at the same time the damaged local rural
infrastructures.
Specific Objective:
Rehabilitate rural infrastructures in the most “El Niño’s” affected
region through CFW activities.
Expected Outputs:
4’500 most vulnerable households have benefited from CFW
activities by repairing irrigation channels and feed roads.
Target Beneficiaries:
Most vulnerable and affected households, relying mainly on
agriculture labour as a source of income in Region Mwanza,
Dodoma, Morogoro, Lindi and Irnga of Tanzania.
Stakeholders:
MALF, FAO, NGOs’, district and local authorities.
Project Duration:
March - December 2016
Funds Requested
US$ 702’000
Summary
Due to the effects of “El Niño’s” event, a significant share of the agriculture land has been damaged
or destroyed, and farmers will not be either in a need or a position to employ casual labourers to
conduct agricultural activities (wedding, harvestings, etc.). At the same time different local rural
infrastructures were damaged due to the floods, mainly traditional irrigation schemes (silted, filled
with debris, canals interrupted) or rural feeder roads (potholes and sidewalk washed away). Hence,
there is a need to ensure alternative income generating activities such as CFW, to provide a
temporary income source for casual labourer and rehabilitate some of the damaged local rural
infrastructures.
Activities
FAO will provide the required means and knowledge in order to set up a Cash For Work scheme
envisaging the need to generate an alternative but temporary income source for the needy casual
labourers through rehabilitation activities of damaged local rural infrastructures.
