Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. World Vision US funded ‘Climate
Resilient Herders' Livelihood’ project is being implemented in 8 soums of Uvs
and Gobi-Altai aimags, high in poverty with extreme climate conditions such as dzud
drought. The project aims to improve resilience, livelihood and nutrition of
poor herder households through livestock provision, home gardening and producer
group formation.
In June, the project organized livestock provision of
well-bred livestock adapted to the local area to 111 households, initially
planned 100 households, with support and cooperation from local governments on
finding good local breeds and lowering prices by raising awareness among
herders with larger flocks to help poorer families. Each household received 20
sheep with lambs and 5 goats with kids. The local governments also supported
all processes with man power and transport.
