This approach involves introducing selected village livestock promoters to provide farmers with an integrated package of advice, inputs, and services. This includes providing extension services on nutrition, animal reproduction, and genetic selection, building farmer capacity, and improving the delivery of inputs, services, and information.
This brief showcases how the village livestock promoter concept was used and the substantial transformation it has yielded in the six districts in which it has been implemented in the eastern Terai region. The potential of this approach to bring about a significant transformation in the livestock sector is truly exciting. Further strengthening of the VLP approach is recommended to retain the gains made during the SAPLING project and ensure its scaling to other regions of the country.
