Description
The CCL (Comité de Coopération avec le Laos) has been involved in implementing rural development programs in Laos for about 40 years. Currently, CCL works in different provinces in Laos, including Phongsaly, Oudomxai and Bolikhamsai.
The project ADAEBio phase 2 “Project on Integrated rural development in Beng, La and Xay districts, Oudomxay province”, funded by Bread for the World and the French Development Agency, is implemented from 1st of January 2025 to 31st of December 2027.
Livestock is a key pillar of Laos’ agricultural economy, providing essential income, food security, and livelihoods for a large portion of the rural population. During the baseline survey of the project, it appeared that animal disease is considered as the first limiting factor to livestock production by 92% of villages. The most common diseases include foot-and-mouth disease (cattle), pasteurellosis (cattle) and Newcastle disease (poultry). Farmers often mention a lack of knowledge about disease prevention and management as the first constraint. Feeding management is considered as the second most limiting factor to animal production. Indeed, many complain about the lack of feed during the dry season, especially for cattle.
The CCL is looking for a consultant to train the teams of the project and develop related manuals on 1) holistic health management of cattle 2) holistic health management of poultry 3) adapted feed solutions for cattle during the dry season. Please refer to the ToR for more information.
