Regional Livestock Program (RLP)

IGAD will take the lead on working with national and sub-national government structures to strengthen policy, coordination, and management of the livestock sector by national and cross-border authorities. It will use the IGAD Drought Disaster Resilience and Sustainability Initiative (IDDRSI) mechanism to mobilise political support and facilitate bilateral and transboundary discussions between countries, thus providing an enabling environment for policy dialogue, common action, and joint investment. Mercy Corps will lead interventions within the Tog Wajaale, Galkayo, and Afmadow live animal trade corridors, as well as the camel milk trade corridor linking Wajir/Garissa to Nairobi. Mercy Corps will also provide technical leadership and collaboration around interventions focused on market development and trade.
