1. Introduction Nepal is an agrarian based country where about 65.6 percent of population is based in agriculture which contributes about 35 percent of GDP. The Nepalese agriculture system comprises of crop, livestock and fodder trees where livestock provides milk, meat, manure, hide draught power, fertilizer, household fuel and fiber. The livestock sector contributes 14% of the national GDP and 32% of the AGDP, which shows significant role of the livestock sector in the country’s economy. The data showed that in total contribution of livestock the contribution of goat meat is 20 percent. Small ruminant especially goat has a significant role in the total livestock contribution. According to MoAC (2004), Goat constitutes a considerable proportion of total ruminants in hills (49.66 % of total ruminants in hills) and Terai (36.47% of total ruminant population) of Nepal, however in case of mountain sheep is more dominated. Thus the sector of goat provides a robust support in the livelihood of Nepalese farmers of hills and terai which constitute the higher proportion of land area and population of the country. According to MOAC (2011), around 75 percent of household are rearing goat which is percent) households. This shows preference of goat over other livestock species for the farm household. They serve as a complement to crop production along with supply of milk and meat. Goat farming is a major part of livestock sector and is mainly adopted by the small as well as marginal farmers whose primary and stable source is income is agriculture. Nepal has long been based on subsistence farming, where the farmers secure their livelihood from fragmented plots of land cultivated in difficult conditions mostly rained where only 28% of the total agricultural land (4.21 million ha) is irrigated 2 (World Bank, 2018). These farmers are characterized by socio-economic vulnerability due to their inability to withstand adverse economic as well as social risk. Goat rearing provides insurance for them in case of failure of crop under this insecure situation. Goat is a significant source of capital storage, income and employment generation for such households. A study by Maharjan, Bauer, & Knerr (2013), suggested that trend of internal and international migration of youth male in search of employment has resulted to agriculture and livestock rearing to be handled by the females. The goats being small ruminants can be easily handled and taken care by the women as well as children. Goat provides milk, meat, fiber, skins and manure along with the livelihood option to the subsistence of small holders and landless rural poor. In this regard, the study aimed to document the present situation of goat farming in context of Nepalese scenario, its importance and other allied aspect in socio economic sector of Nepal. 1.1 Background In this context, proposed project will planned to implement in Belaka Municipality Udayapur district of Province 1. The situation of women and children in Udhayapur district is miserable due to the lack of access to the resources, proper education and empowerment: the social, economic and political. The women and children particularly of the rural area are deprived of equity, justice and opportunities which are making them to lag behind from the development mainstream. There are the cases of women trafficking, child marriage and poor sanitation. The women depression with the many cases of uterus prolapsed condition which is especially due to early marriage, early birth giving and lifting heavy weights during the natal period. The programs are to be developed to address the need and for the betterment of the society in the changed conditions of the nation targeting the underprivileged portion of the society. The women are to be made aware, educated and empowered so to play rare goat and multiply the mother goat so that in one year they can be self-sustain. Isolated from the rest of Nepal by road connectivity and known as a Karnali of eastern Nepal, Belaka, a village close to Kosi River, has benefited the most from the bridge and road. With a livelihood program directed at women, the project has supported economic empowerment of women. The women of the nation as a whole and particularly of the Belaka Municipality are falling behind the mainstream of development and empowerment. 2. Project Goal The goal of this project is to enhance the economic condition of community of Belaka Municipality Udhayapur through promotion of goat farming. 2.1 Objective • To distribute female goat to the farmer of Belaka Municipality. • Enhance the economic stander of women • To promote self-employment. • To reduce malnutrition. • To make the local community self-sustain in the production of the mother goat . 3. Project Area and Intended Beneficiaries Proposed project is planned to implement program in Belaka Municipality ward no 8 Udhayapur district of Province No. 1. 4. Strategy Implemented during the project The under-mentioned strategies has been carried out to achieve the set goal and objectives. - On field coordination with the Belaka municipality and official of Livestock department has been done by the local WVAN committee. During this process the local government suggested for the group farming not to distribute goat to the individual farmers as this mode of project has not been much more successful in the past. So we decided to have group farming including women and youth. Also they registered the farm under the name: WVAN Belaka Goat Farm. - Community mobilization and sensitization for understanding of the project has been done among the beneficiaries. The committee is mobilized to select the suitable place for the farming. Thus, they selected a pocket are of Belaka 8 where local government has identified as the suitable place for goat farming and doing various activities regarding this. - Preciously we have identified the breed Jamunapari for the project. But after the discussion with the livestock department of Belaka Municipality they suggested for the Khari breed goat which is local and had particular taste. The details of the breed is mentioned below in 4.1. - Khari breed goat is purchased from the local farmers and then tagged them. Importance of tagging is mentioned below 4.2. - Protect the livestock from being sold. - Supervision & monitoring team of five person including the export is formed. The details of it is mentioned below heading 5 monitoring and evaluation. - Shed design adopted by the local farming is build. 4.1 Introduction to Khari breed goat: From 300 to 1500 meters of altitude Khari goats are reared. Khari goats are in different colors and it is usually called hilly or AULE (low land) goats. Doe usually weighs 15-25 kg and buck weighs 25-35 kg. These Khari gives its first birth in average 16 months of age. Stature of its body is smaller and smarter; Khari can be Khari breed goat reared by keeping in bond or by grazing. Among local breeds of goats in terms of numbers, Khari goats are raised in many numbers in hilly belt of Nepal. Keeping in views of climate, immunity from diseases and average growth, Khari goats are regarded useful in the belts of hills and inner hills of Nepal. The characteristics of Khari goats are given as below: • Can give 3 times birth during 2 years of intervals • Less suffering through diseases, compare to foreign breeds imported in Nepal, Khari has more immunity towards diseases • Can be reared in normal shed • Generally, one goat gives birth at time 2 kids • Can graze in slopes • Balance feeds are not necessary • Mortality rate of kids are low • Meat is tasty and tight 4.2 Tagging goat for identification For the proper management of Commercial Goat Farming, to identify goats, tagging is necessary. Tagging helps to identify productive and unproductive goats from the herds and thus helpful in managing feeding and culling. When kids become 1-2 weeks older, it would be better to tag appropriately. In kid’s ears, such plastic or metal tags can be given. Or, kids can be given the number in the ear by using color tags. The benefits of tagging are given below: • Helpful to keep the record and identify the goats. • Helpful to keep the record of reproduction and health record of goats. • Helpful for appropriate management of goats. • Easy for searching in case of theft or missing. • Easy to submit as evidence to Insurance Company for insurance or claim 4.3 Construction of goat shed Locally available resources while constructing goat shed had been used to locally available low cost materials have to be used while constructing goat shed and volunteer of 19 members of WVAN Belaka Committee has contributed 5hours of manpower in construction and transportation of the materials from the drop point by vehicle.
