Upper Volta - Livestock Development Project
Johnston, Richard S.
The Livestock Development Project for Upper Volta will be a broadly based program to assist cattle production in Dedougou and Bobo-Dioulasso Organisme Regional de Developpement's (ORD) through ranch development, and the improvement of livestock marketing, meat processing and veterinary services. It will help about 300,000 traditional cattle producers and, in addition, will introduce commercial ranching to the traditional sector. The project, carried out over five years, 1976-80, would comprise: (a) establishing nine group ranches and a group ranch development center; (b) providing improved veterinary services throughout Dedougou and Bobo-Dioulasso ORD regions; (c) constructing a livestock market and holding ground at Bobo-Dioulasso as well as improving 730 km of stock routes; (d) renovating a slaughterhouse at Bobo-Dioulasso; and (e) providing for training, field trials, project evaluation and monitoring, and future project preparation.
