Heifer Project International (HPI) is a humanitarian development organization dedicated to ending hunger and poverty and caring for the Earth by empowering small holder families around the globe to become self-reliant and attain sustainable livelihood through economically viable agricultural enterprises. EADD II is a five-year regional industry development program focused on sustainably improving livelihoods of smallholder dairy farmers by improving their income through enhancing dairy production and market access in East Africa. Based on the successes and learning of EADD phase one, EADD II in Uganda aims to double the dairy income of 43,000 farming households and an additional 129,000 secondary beneficiaries by 2018. EADD II adopts the hub model approach - a one-stop shop model by which farmers are organized into formal Producer Organizations (POs) through which farmers' access to dairy markets, services and inputs is enhanced. Also, through Social Capital development approach, Community Facilitators (CFs) and Community Agrovet Entrepreneurs (CAVES) enable the hubs reach out to farmers' and address social and technical needs.
