Project "PARFEC"
Support to urban and peri-urban livestock supply chains in the Central African Republic.
The project aims to improve food safety for the population of Bangui and its surrounding areas by increasing the supply of high-quality animal protein at an affordable price. To this end, the project aims to strengthen the economic and organizational services of small-scale livestock production in the neighborhoods of the capital and the towns of Bimbo and Bégoua.
