46002-P-ZM-AAE-003 African Development Bank <narrative xml:lang="EN">Zambia - Sustainable Livestock Infrastructure Management Project (SLIMP)</narrative> <narrative xml:lang="FR">Zambie - Projet de gestion durable des infrastructures d’élevage (SLIMP)</narrative> Le Projet de gestion durable des infrastructures d’élevage (SLIMP) est en phase avec la Vision nationale 2030 de la Zambie et avec le septième Plan national de développement (7NDP 2017-2021). En s’appuyant sur sa stratégie de diversification économique, l’administration zambienne a lancé un programme national visant à accélérer le développement du sous-secteur de l’élevage et à accroître sa contribution à l’économie nationale. Le sous-secteur de l’élevage est en effet une source importante de croissance économique, de création d’emplois et de génération de revenus pour les ménages, toutes choses qui concourent à la réduction de la pauvreté. Ce projet constitue un investissement autonome qui vise à promouvoir le développement durable de la chaîne de valeur de l’élevage en Zambie. Il s’articule autour de trois (3) composantes, à savoir : (a) Production et productivité de l’élevage résilient aux changements climatiques et fondées sur les technologies pour la transformation de l’agriculture en Afrique (TAAT); (b) Développement, gestion des infrastructures et commercialisation; et (c) Appui institutionnel et renforcement des capacités. Le coût du projet, qui est calculé en tenant compte des aléas physiques et de la provision pour hausse des prix, se situe autour de 9,02 millions d’UC. Il sera exécuté sur une période de trois ans. The Sustainable Livestock Infrastructure Management Project (SLIMP) is in line with Zambia’s National Vision 2030 and Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP: 2017-2021). Based on the strategy of economic diversification, the Government has launched a nationwide programme to scale-up development of the livestock sub-sector and enhance its contribution to the national economy. The livestock sub-sector is an important source of economic growth, job creation, and household incomes, which contribute to poverty reduction. This is a stand-alone investment Project aimed at promoting sustainable livestock value chain development in Zambia. The Project consists of three (3) components namely: (a) Technologies for African Agriculture Transformation (TAAT)-based Climate Resilient Livestock Production and Productivity; (b) Infrastructure Development, Management and Commercialisation; and (c) Institutional Support and Capacity Building. The Project cost, including physical and price contingencies, is UA 9.02 million. It will be implemented over a period of 3 years. Le projet devrait bénéficier directement à 248 groupes d’éleveurs inscrits totalisant plus de 100 000 ménages qui ont le statut de membres à part entière (dont 33 600 ménages dirigés par une femme). De plus, 90 000 ménages d’éleveurs de bétail dans les districts participants bénéficieront indirectement de l’amélioration des infrastructures et des services d’élevage. Environ 800 000 personnes, dont 400 000 femmes et 70 000 jeunes, tireront profit indirectement d’une offre accrue de produits d’élevage de qualité. Le projet générera directement 120 emplois permanents, 18 000 emplois saisonniers, et 60 000 emplois saisonniers indirects tout au long de la chaîne de valeur de l’élevage. Près de 20 000 femmes âgées de 12 à 49 ans et quelque 12 000 enfants de moins de deux ans seront touchés par des interventions et des produits nutritionnels mis au point pour élargir l’accès des femmes en âge de procréer (y compris les adolescentes) et des enfants aux produits laitiers et à d’autres produits carnés ayant une valeur nutritive. En outre, les activités de communication en faveur du changement social et comportemental (SBCC) menées aussi bien dans les communautés que dans les médias profiteront à nombre de femmes, d’hommes, de garçons et de filles en Zambie. The Project is expected to directly benefit 248 registered livestock-keeping groups with more than 100,000 households (HH) with fully-paid-membership status (33,600 female headed HH). In addition, 90,000 livestock keeping HH, within participating Districts, will indirectly benefit from improved livestock infrastructure and services. About 800,000 people, including 400,000 women and 70,000 youths, will indirectly benefit from increase in supply of quality livestock products. The Project will directly create 120 permanent jobs, 18,000 seasonal jobs, and 60,000 indirect seasonal jobs along the livestock value chain. About 20,000 women between 12-49 years, and 12,000 children under 2 years will be reached through nutrition interventions and outputs which will be targeted towards improving access by women of reproductive age (including adolescent girls) and children to nutritionally valuable milk and also meat products. In addition, the community based and mass media Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) activities will benefit many women, men, boys and girls in Zambia. L’objectif du sous-secteur de l’élevage est de transformer l’élevage à petite échelle en des chaînes de valeur commercialisées viables susceptibles de contribuer à la formation de revenus, à la réduction de la pauvreté et à la création d’emplois. L’objectif du projet est justement de contribuer à l’allègement de la pauvreté grâce à une utilisation plus durable des infrastructures d’élevage, de façon à accroître la production et la productivité animales, ainsi que la commercialisation et le renforcement des capacités institutionnelles. Ces efforts devraient se traduire en fin de compte par l’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle pour les ménages, couplée à une augmentation de leurs revenus. Les résultats attendus du SLIMP sont, entre autres, i) l’amélioration des revenus des petits éleveurs, entrepreneurs compris ; et ii) l’autonomisation des organisations d’éleveurs à la faveur de l’élargissement de l’accès de ces organisations aux services qu’offrent le secteur public et le secteur privé. The livestock sub-sector’s goal is to transform small-scale livestock farming into sustainable commercialised value chains which contribute to income generation, poverty reduction and employment creation. The project’s objective is to contribute to poverty reduction through enhanced sustainable use of livestock infrastructure for improved livestock production and productivity, commercialisation and institutional capacity building. This will lead to improved household food and nutrition security, and incomes. SLIMP outcomes include (i) enhanced incomes of small-scale livestock farmers including entrepreneurs, and (ii) empowerment of livestock-keeping farmer organisations through improved access to public and private sector services.
