Scaling up improved sheep fattening practices and technologies in Ethiopia.
To use global and regional knowledge and skills to scale out improved sheep fattening practices and technologies to enable enhancement of incomes from sheep fattening in Ethiopia.
1. To scale up adoption of improved sheep fattening technology and practices in Ethiopia sustainably through the implementation of benchmark sites (sheep fattening youth cooperatives and model champion farmers). 2. To develop and strengthen business and institutional models on the YCoop approach involving local organizations, government livestock departments and the private sector (input suppliers. 3. To consolidate and strengthen converging partnerships.
Sheep fattening practices are still largely traditional with low output. There has been minimum progression towards commercial based fattening associated with clear production objectives and financial capacity
The approach will include a progressive expansion of a network of benchmark sites in form of sheep fattening youth cooperatives (YCoop) and on-farm model farmers (champions) as disseminators of proven sheep fattening technologies and practices and facilitators of participatory learning.
Youth groups and model champion farmers undertaking sheep fattening as a business at village level will be empowered through trainings so that they act as role models, disseminators and facilitators of improved sheep fattening technologies and practices to sheep farmers.
