Workshop on FAO’s U2C activities in Chittagong Saturday

A daylong Decision-Making Engagement Workshop on U2C will be held on Saturday at a hotel in Chittagong, aiming to make local administration, leaders, elites, and other concerned aware of FAO's U2C activities in the area, reports UNB. The Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (UNFAO)Bangladesh Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animals Diseases (ECTAD), in close collaboration with the Department of Livestock Services (DLS) of the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock will organize the event, said a press release.

The Upazila-to-Community (U2C) is a strategic tool to empower communities of small farmers, including women who are often the custodians of backyard and small-scale livestock, by providing them with door to door animal healthcare services leading to prevention of animal diseases, improved productivity and safer food.

With funding support from USAID's Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT-2) programme, FAO has been supporting the Department of Livestock Services Bangladesh to develop the U2C initiative including providing training to DLS officers and staff of selected upazilas.
