LASOONA: Society for Human & Natural Resource Development under its project "Emergency early livelihood recovery for conflict-affected people in Swat" has distributed 986 goats (Barbari) and 20 cows of indigenous breed (Achai) among 491 most vulnerable people (88 females and 403 males) of UC Bara Bandai. In addition, improved animal feed (vanda) and mineral supplements (molasses blocks) have also been distributed to the same beneficiaries.
Moreover, 504 goats will be distributed to 240 beneficiaries of UC Kuza Bandai which all-necessary arrangements have been completed.

One of the key result areas of the project is to build resilience and enhance coping mechanism of livestock farmers. For this purpose, trainings on general livestock management imparted to the beneficiaries prior to the distribution event.

The target of 5000 dairy goats and 100 cows in five target union councils namely: Bara Bandai, Kuza Bandai, Hazara, Kuz Abakhel and Bar Abakhel will be completed within two months.

For improved animal health services and management support practices, 10 potential Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) have been identified for training. In this regard, an MOU with the Livestock & Dairy Development department has already been signed for conducting these trainings.
