Dairy Cattle Management
To generate and increase income for the 22 families in the community of Ingavi Cobija, the YCADF strengthened and improved dairy cow production. Two hectares of pasture were established, along with the donation of one dairy cow to each family. Two bulls were also provided for use by the entire community. The project included the construction of a stable for each family, with a capacity for three head of cattle, equipment, and a starter kit of veterinary medical supplies. Training and technical assistance were provided to community members in dairy cow management and project administration.
The Yungas Community Alternative
Development Fund is funded by a grant from the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) and managed by ACDI/VOCA Bolivia. The project
described here is part of a bi-national initiative to improve the
standard of living and increase the productive potential of those
residing in the North Yungas, South Yungas, and Caranavi provinces
in the Department of La Paz, Bolivia. This activity is part of a
greater effort aimed at containing and eliminating illicit and excess
coca production
