From 2004 – 2009, CARE implemented the Livestock Marketing and Enterprise (LIME) Project and, subsequently, the Livestock Purchasing (LIP) Fund Project in the Garissa District of Kenya. The project objectives were to improve the livelihoods of pastoralist livestock holders in the drought prone and heavily impoverished region.
This Case Study examines CARE’s experience under LIME and LIPFund to illustrate lessons learned about effective NGO interventions in value chains. Packaged as a business school case, the document is a teaching tool for NGO staff and business school students, focused on three key concepts central to effective strategies for making markets work for the poor from an NGO perspective: Stakeholder Engagement, Private Sector Partnerships and Value Chain Facilitation.
