A training program in sheep farming has been launched for 77 beneficiaries from various educational backgrounds in Ghzawa, Tozeur Governorate. The program, supervised by the local authorities, aims to equip participants with modern skills in sheep breeding and management. The training, which lasts for 10 days, is being provided by the Sectoral Vocational Training Center in Palm Agriculture in Dqash.
The training program is part of the first batch of training courses scheduled under the Integrated Development Program, targeting individuals involved in livestock activities. Sami Ben Abdallah, Director of the Sectoral Vocational Training Center in Palm Agriculture, stated that the program seeks to provide participants with comprehensive knowledge on modern sheep farming techniques, including feeding, health care, and fattening lambs.
The training sessions are being held at two locations: the Ghzawa delegation hall and the youth center hall in the region. The program concludes with the issuance of certificates to participants, enabling them to access necessary funding under the Integrated Development Program to launch their own sheep farming projects.
The Integrated Rural Development Program in Ghzawa and Temgza delegacies is implementing a series of training courses in various agricultural fields. These include good agricultural practices in oases, such as organic fertilization and vegetable production, as well as techniques related to irrigation, like drip irrigation.
The program aims to increase the productivity of irrigated areas in the two delegacies. By providing training and support, the initiative seeks to promote sustainable agricultural practices and improve the livelihoods of rural communities in the region.
The training program in sheep farming is a significant component of the Integrated Development Program, which focuses on empowering local communities through vocational training and capacity building. The program has the potential to contribute to the development of the agricultural sector in Tozeur Governorate and improve the socio-economic conditions of rural populations.
The launch of this training program demonstrates the efforts of local authorities and development partners to support sustainable agriculture and rural development in Tunisia. The program's impact is expected to be felt in the long term, as trained participants go on to establish and manage their own sheep farming projects, contributing to the country's agricultural production and food security.
