The Karamoja Agro-pastoral Development Programme (KADP) implements an agro-pastoral development program in the semi-arid Moroto and Nakapiripirit districts in Karamoja, North East Uganda.  The most viable economic activities are extensive livestock keeping and growing of seasonal crops to supplement livestock and livestock products.  During drought, Karamojong women, children and old people are often left for months at a time without animals to provide them with milk.  Thus, the KADP started a breeding and propagation centre to produce crossbred dairy goats.  Each woman was given a goat, trained by a veterinarian and an agronomist and has access to  animal health services.  The women make hay and plant fodder for their goats. They zero-graze the animals and provide them with supplementary feed.  They collect extra fodder and store it for when feed is scarce.  After the project implementation, the amount of milk produced has risen, and the project is being extended to other villages.
