| Summary: | Small ruminant farmers in Mali face persistent challenges in health, nutrition, and reproduction management. To address these issues, public and private livestock health and management practitioners delivered an integrated

(LCs). In 2025, 1,442 (56%) men and 1,135 (44%) women small ruminants producers benefited from these trainings in 87 villages across 13 municipalities in central Mali. |
