Executive Summary:

This is a project designed to respond to the problem of deforestation and land degradation

It has been demonstrated that more than 60% of rural households in the Western Highlands still depend heavily on fuel wood as their source of energy. An average of 3 tons of fuel wood is used up by a single household per year. This implies that at least 15 hectares of forest are lost yearly.

The focus is to vulgarize and promote the adoption of integrated dairy cattle farming and Biogas Technology by rural households to improve livelihoods while enhancing sustainable management of natural resources within the framework of the Growth and Employment Strategy of the Government of Cameroon.

The beneficiaries will include 1000 households located in 10 sub divisions (Santa and Tubah in Mezam division, Njikwa and Batibo in Momo, Wum and Esu in Menchum, Fundong and Njinikom in Boyo, Ndop and Babessi in Ngoketunjia) of the Western Highlands’ agro-ecological zone of Cameroon
