The Feed the Future Programme d’Appui à la Rentabilisation de l’Elevage (PARE) is a five-year
activity implemented by Land O’Lakes Venture37. The activity aims to advance livestock
production (cattle, poultry, goats, sheep, eggs, and dairy) market systems and to diversify incomes
to increase the resilience of communities in two Resilience Focus Zones (RFZ) - one in the
southern region (South Department) and the other in parts of the north (North, Northeast and
Plateau Central Departments). The Activity will address key opportunities and constraints to
increase livestock productivity, facilitate private sector engagement, and manage environmental
and natural resource considerations. Ultimately, the PARE activity will enable households and
communities to withstand recurrent shocks and stresses, while helping them increase food
security.
