Eligible for financing will include purchase of animals, feeding operations, and animal health related operations, downstream meat processing and sales by operators that are members of registered organizations and individual traders holding an agreement as trader.

The study is aimed at taking stock and deriving lessons from the broader Gambian livestock sector and it will be carried by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI).
Component D: Project Management and Coordination: The objective of this component is to establish a Project Management Unit (PMU) and provide it with means to fulfill its role of implementation and management of project plans.
