Chu Pah (Gia Lai): Giving away breeding cows to create sustainable livelihoods to escape poverty

Support breeding cows for poor and near-poor ethnic minority households in Ia Ka commune

In Bluk Blui village, Ia Ka commune, 4 poor and near-poor ethnic minority households were given 4 24-month-old breeding cows, weighing from 170 - 190kg/cow.

Before the handover, representatives of relevant parties such as: District Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Agricultural Service Center, Commune People's Committee, Head of Community Group of Breeding Cows in Bluk Blui village..., conducted appraisal, measured the weight and quality of cows according to regulations to hand over to ethnic minority households that benefited from the Project.

Relevant units conduct acceptance and quality assessment of breeding cows for households benefiting from the Community Production Development Support Project.

When implementing the Project, the People's Committee of Ia Ka Commune surveyed and reviewed the beneficiaries. Most of the poor and near-poor households in the commune have little land for production, so they chose the project to support breeding cows to create sustainable livelihoods. This is a direction that is suitable for reality, because some poor households have escaped poverty thanks to support for breeding cows. The People's Committee of the commune assigned specialized staff and village heads to regularly inspect, supervise, and provide technical guidance to poor and near-poor households to take good care of cows so that they can soon escape poverty.

Mr. RAnh Ro Cham Suon, Bluk Blui village, Ia Ka commune, was excited to receive breeding cows supported by the Project.

Mr. Luyen Van Toan, Deputy Head of the Ethnic Affairs Department of Chu Pah district, said that the implementation of Sub-project 2 - Project 3 under the National Target Program on socio -economic development of ethnic minority and mountainous areas on supporting production development according to value chains in Chu Pah district in 3 years (2022 - 2024) has a total cost of more than 10 billion VND. The People's Committee of Chu Pah district has assigned the commune level to be the investor to implement livelihood diversification. Up to now, the communes have established and approved the projects.

Accordingly, the Projects to Support Production Development and Community Livelihood Diversification have been implemented in 4 communes and 12 villages with special difficulties. Up to now, the locality has supported production development and community livelihood diversification, giving breeding cows to 22 poor and near-poor households in Tuek village, Dak To Ver commune; giving breeding cows to 4 poor and near-poor households in Bluk Blui village, Ia Ka commune.

Currently, Chu Pah district is making efforts to implement and bring the Project to Support Production Development and Diversify Community Livelihoods to beneficiaries, thereby contributing to changing production methods, increasing income, and sustainably reducing poverty for ethnic minorities in the area.
