L-PRES is a 6-Year Project with Development Objective (PDO) focusing on improving livestock productivity, resilience and commercialization of selected value chains and to strengthen the country’s capacity to respond to an eligible crisis or emergency.

Livestock is vital to Nigeria’s economy and poverty alleviation. It employs 30 percent of the rural population but accounts only for less than 10 percent of the Agricultural GDP and 2-3 percent of the National GDP , which highlights the sub-sector under-development. Livestock provides increased significant economic stability to rural households in the form of cash buffers, as capital reserves, and creates a hedge against inflation.

It is against this backdrop that Gombe L-PRES remains committed to championing the cause of livestock transformation in Gombe State. We stand ready to collaborate with all actors and stakeholders to modernize the sector and make it more resilient, profitable, and productive—ultimately contributing to improved livelihoods and overall economic development.
