Expression of Interest Dairy cooperative to receive support( technical\financial)

Concern Worldwide is a non-governmental international organization funded in 1968 by small group of passionate people who turned their concern into action to address terrible starvation in war-torn Biafra. Today, we are a global community of humanitarians, innovators, partners, community members and supporters who share a common vision of a world where no one lives in poverty, where all can exercise their rights to dignity and a decent standard of living, and have access to the opportunities and choices essential to a long, healthy and creative life.

Deutsche Welthungerhilfe e. V.  along with Concern Worldwide have jointly launched a 1 year project for 2019, titled, “Strengthening the Resilience of Refugees and Host Communities Impacted by the Syria Crisis ” funded by Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung, BMZ (In English: federal ministry for economic cooperation and development). The project is intended to strengthen the resilience of located communities in  Syria Crisis through integrated community infrastructure rehabilitation, protection and livelihood interventions.

Since cooperatives are key economic actors worldwide, Concern worldwide intends to support three small to medium dairy cooperatives in Akkar, with a minimum of 200 members by providing small grants focusing on cooperative infrastructure and the provision of equipment in order to help cooperatives meet the minimum quality standards required for the market and to strengthen their technical capacities and contribute to higher production rates and income.
