The project will support the scale-up of the program and enhance the program effectiveness by improving its targeting, by extending the scope to income generating activities not related to livestock, by introducing complementary support services to increase the likelihood of business survival or improved employability in the medium to longer term, and by strengthening the coordination with the Targeted State Social Assistance (TSSA) program.
