In partnership with UNHCR and the Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS), Wa-PYDO has been working to improve livestock health for refugees and neighbouring host communities in Dollo Ado and Bokolmayo districts. With IKEA Foundation funding, the organisation has given community animal health workers (CAHWs) basic veterinary training and several rounds of refresher training.
Under the 2023 project, Wa-PYDO went a step further. Through Filtu TVET College, 25 CAHWs selected from the five refugee camps and the adjacent host communities completed a 45-day short course in animal health.
The graduation ceremony was held in the college’s meeting hall on 7 December 2023. The Deputy Dean of Filtu TVET College, Abdi Moalim Bashir, the acting Liban Zone Commissioner, Mohamed Mohamud Kenyan, and Wa-PYDO’s Executive Director, Mohamed Ali Abdi, spoke and led the ceremony.
