Support livestock breeders and farmers, both male and females in Idleb governorate As a response to displaced breeders’ needs in camps and vulnerable farmers in off-camps identified while conducting the technical needs assessment in the project areas, and based on the results of the implemented projects by IYD during this year, this project will support cow and sheep breeders living in 20 camps located in Selwa and Deir Hassan communities. 200 cow breeders (50 females 150 males), own no more than four cows will benefit from the project in addition to 200 sheep breeders (50 females 150 males) own no more than forty sheep or Ewes. The support to the breeders will be as follow

Distributing 10 kg pellet fodder to cow breeders for three months ( three cows max per breeder)
Health care and reproductive follow up and artificial insemination of high specifications for all cows in the camps provided by four mobile clinics will be established by IYD
Distributing 0.5 kg pellet fodder to sheep breeders for three months ( thirty sheep maximum per breeder )
Health care follows up and applying a treatment program against the common parasitic for all sheep in the camps provided by four mentioned mobile clinics, which also will promote the breeding principles of the targeted beneficiaries

To maximize the pellet fodder benefit,IYD will purchase premix fodder, which contains all needed vitamins and minerals, which is either not exist in pellet fodder or existing as low value to be added to the pellet while manufacturing it as follow : 
Each ton of cow pellet fodder to be supplied with 20 kg premix
Each ton of sheep pellet fodder to be supplied with 10 kg Premix

On another similar side and aiming to increase Animal Source Foods "ASF" intake of the targeted camps’ residents who have no livestock, 500 HHs will be supported with poultry distribution. Each HH will benefit from:
Layer hens and roosters
70 kg of poultry fodder enough for two months
$ 30 as restricted cash for each selected HH to construct the poultry aviary
 
Furthermore, this project also aims to support olive farmers in the targeted areas by applying an inter-cropping system in olive orchards to maximize the production of available arable land and improve income for farmers through the creation of additional income from their farms. To achieve that, IYD will work on : 

1- Supporting the livestock sector through planting forage crop (Lathyrus) where 300 olive farmers will receive agriculture inputs (tillage, seeds, fertilizers, and technical follow up) to plant 3 donums with Lathyrus crop per farmer. Awareness sessions for targeted farmers will be conducted on intercropping system guidance. Of the benefits earned from planting Lathyrus is that 900 dunums of Lathyrus will provide a large amount of green fodder in the targeted areas, which will decrease the financial burden of breeders

2- Creation of 600 job opportunities as CFW modality for the following activities:
 
400 olive harvesting workers will receive awareness sessions on the good practices of olive picking to improve the quality of olive oil. This will be done by dividing the workers into 40 groups(1 skilled worker and 9 unskilled per group), will harvest around 13,500 trees in 20 days. 300 vulnerable olive farmers in the targeted areas will benefit from this activity (45 harvested olive trees per farmer)
200 workers to harvest the Lathyrus crops planted between olive trees. this will be done by dividing the workers into 10 groups (1 skilled worker and 19 unskilled per group), will harvest around 9 donum in 20 days. 300 vulnerable olive farmers in the targeted areas will benefit from this activity (3 donum per farmer). 

IYD will link between the breeders and farmers through collecting the waste of the targeted livestock in the camps and re-distributing it to the selected farmers. This distributed waste will act as a fertilizer for the olive trees, and at the same time eliminating animal waste will contribute to protecting the environment in camp
