This project involves livestock productivity interventions for smallholder farmers in 16 highland woredas of Ethiopia. The project aims to address chronic food insecurity among Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) beneficiaries, and is expected to generate economic and social benefits by increasing household incomes and graduating 50,000 households from safety net support through improved livestock value chains. As part of the evaluation, a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis was conducted in line with international good practices, assessing the project's financial viability, economic efficiency, and distributional impacts. The analysis included detailed household income projections, feed cost-benefit calculations, and risk-adjusted loan repayment scenarios to ensure robust decision-making support for USAID/Ethiopia and implementing partners (CARE, REST, ORDA, CRS, SNV, and Tufts University).
