The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has been instrumental in Nigeria’s efforts to rebuild and protect livestock, improve food security, and enhance the nutrition of households affected by conflicts.

In a recent initiative, the FAO provided 660 households led by women with a livestock reconstitution kit, which included four reproducible goats (three females and one male), 90 kg of animal feed (groundnut hay and groundnut shells), and a 2 kg mineral block.
Additionally, the FAO established six producer field schools, which engaged 150 participants in training on livestock farming practices.
