Abstract
Dairy for Uplifting Livelihood and Assisting Transformation of small holder dairy farmers in Nepal (DAULAT) This meeting brings together local farmers and local service providers. At the meetings farmers purchase inputs and services from the service providers, and also discuss how service providers can improve their delivery. The events stimulate demand amongst farmers for inputs and services and builds relationships between these market actors to improve their business linkages. The overall objective of the project is to reduce poverty of smallholder farmers in Nepal and its specific objective is to increase sustainable income of 10,000 smallholder dairy farmers within two years. The project prioritises developing appropriate access to services and inputs for women smallholder dairy farmers to decrease their drudgery which provides more time for other income generating activities, increases opportunities to engage effectively with market actors and provide increased incomes that can be used for household benefit. Further, a wide variety of opportunities for livelihoods have emerged from the dairy sector supporting small and micro enterprises in rural areas which will provide employment opportunities to the poor.
