It highlights major activities and progress made under each component or strategic objective during the period under review. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In Quarter 1, L4G’s succeeding in continuing the rapid launch of program activities in the Timbuktu region, creating a network of producer organizations and other livestock value chain actors with whom the program will be partnering with over the remaining 2.5 years of the project. Over 8,000 new L4G clients were identified. Sales of veterinary products and services, forage, licking blocks, and fattened animals proved lucrative for L4G clients. And the program provided many best-practice trainings on various livestock value chain- related topics—trainings that, it is anticipated, will be cascaded down to thousands of additional people. Most notably this quarter, L4G succeeded in facilitating a pilot delivery of cattle fattened by L4G- partnered animal fatteners to the slaughterhouse, Laham Industrie. This test delivery resulted in the sale of 50 cattle, and all parties seem eager to continue sustained future deliveries of cattle to the slaughterhouse. NEW PROGRAM CLIENTS In Quarter 2, L4G reached 442 new clients and 6 new communities in Timbuktou (Tindirma, Arham, Bourem Sidi Amar, Soboundou, Tonka, Kaneye). Please see Table 1below for more detailed information. L4G has now reached 100% percent of the FtF coverage zone.
