CPHDA provided:

Technical Supports and Workshops.

Through workshops and trainings, CPHDA worked to develop the business skills of pastoralists, livestock traders, exporters and abattoir owners. This resulted in an increase in pastoralists’ profits from livestock sales and can stimulate a more supportive enabling environment for the livestock industry. It also, in particular, improved pastoralists’ market access, and strengthened performance, integration and coordination throughout Cameroon’s livestock sector.

CPHDA provided training services to pastoralists, livestock traders, cooperative members and government experts in business skills development. The course modules we have experience developing covered a variety of topics such as business planning, livestock marketing, market information, marketing contract administration, bookkeeping, animal fattening, feedlot management, veterinary care, pricing, animal nutrition, sustainable market operation and maintenance.

Market Information Collection and Dissemination:

CPHDA worked analyzing, interpreting and disseminating updated and reliable livestock market information to livestock traders, donor partners, livestock-marketing cooperatives or unions, NGOs, and concerned government organizations via a completely designed Weekly Livestock Market Monitoring Bulletin. The bulletin was disseminated in electronic and hard copies and was translated into local languages, such as Hausa, Fulani, etc. Critical information such as weather forecasts; pasture and water conditions; livestock market information; livestock conditions; news and information updates; types and breeds of animals; numbers of animals supplied to the market and sold; and price ranges and average price per animal, was made available to the different stakeholders.
