The project's overall objective was to improve livelihoods opportunities by increasing income and employment among members of milk cooperative groups, and promoting women's empowerment by improving their economic leadership in the dairy sector. The project activities were implemented by Oxfam GB in conjunction with Doaba Foundation, a local partner organisation. Project activities included the formation of one enterprise in the dairy sector, and the establishment of ten collection centres where farmers could sell their milk production. Other activities also included the formation of ten community groups which provided training on milk production, animal health and dairy market in order to improve the quality and quantity of the milk produced by the farmers. The project started in 2011, supporting four cooperatives in four tehsils in the Muzaffargah district, South Punjab. In 2012 the project was interrupted until January 2013 when it then continued with only one of the four original cooperatives. The evaluation focussed only on the impact on project participants involved from 2011 to 2014.
