Abstract

The Objectives of this Circular are: Objectives 1. Ensure meat and egg availability, accessibility, and affordability; 2. Enable the farmer household beneficiaries to produce their own food and have the opportunity to raise additional income for their family; and 3. Provide assistance to cooperatives, associations and/or peoples' organizations around urban centers in the form of livelihood modules. The Project aims to refocus/realign the FY 2020 budget in response to COVID-19 crisis situation. Specifically, it aims to contribute to food security and supply amidst the present crisis, provide livelihood and additional income to poor farmer households, and provide alternative protein source to poor farmer households in the peri-urban and ASF-affected areas. This project will involve the distribution of livelihood enterprise modules, which could either be broiler chicks, ready to lay (RTL) pullets, free range chickens (RTL), ducks, swine (for ASF-free areas), and small ruminants. To ensure timely and proper implementation, constant coordination and monitoring will be undertaken with the Implementing Units and Selected Beneficiaries.
