Turkmenistan Livestock Local Works Activity

The agricultural sector in Turkmenistan is a cornerstone of the country's economy, though there are opportunities for improvement in productivity, sustainability, and resilience to climate change. To address these, USAID/RMCA proposes a livestock activity, implemented through the Local Works program, aimed at enhancing agricultural production through increasing the availability and adoption of innovative technologies and practices. USAID Local Works is a program designed to advance locally owned and driven development and enhance the Agency’s ability to empower local actors to take the lead in addressing development priorities. In Turkmenistan, this Local Works activity will build on the achievements of the USAID Agriculture Technology (2010-2015) activity in the livestock sector.
