Kathore Dairy Farming Project 1991
In July 1991, the Al-Hamrika Organisation, which represents over 20 villages of the Jokhio tribe in the Kathore region, applied to the Swiss Inter-cooperation Agency for assistance for purchasing rigs for tube well drilling. On the advice of the author of this report, this request was refused for reasons discussed in the paragraph below. However, it was decided that the situation in the Kathore region would be studied and a more appropriate programme for assistance would be developed. In the discussions that followed, dairy farming was identified as a possible alternative and it was decided to study the nature of assistance that would be required to promote it.
