The Christian Partners
Development Association (CPDA), a local NGO began
implementation of the dairy goat project in September
2002. CPDA implemented the project in partnership
with the Ministry of Agriculture, Manor House, the
Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) and
the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry
(ICRAF) now the World Agroforestry Centre (WAC).
The project combines up-grading of local goats for
increased milk production and the use of goat manure
to improve soil fertility for vegetable production.
The partnership of different organisations ensures
delivery of and training on the different components
of the technology. The technology of dairy goats
is particularly relevant in Vihiga district where
population pressure is very high and farm sizes
are extremely small to accomodate dairy cattle raring. |
