In cooperation with the local Women’s Union of Dau Kenh Village, Quangtri province, central Vietnam a project with local cattle has been established on a revolving fund basis, with the agreement that farmers who have been given the cattle pay back about 1 to 2 times the value of the initial animal through providing its offspring to a community herd, which are then provided to other households in the village.

The project will also provide farmers with knowledge on the improvement and use of underutilised crops such as rice straw, groundnut vines and other locally available plant material, through the active participation in the project by staff from Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry.

This project builds on existing, successfully implemented, revolving fund projects that provided community members with local pig breeds. Members of the Women's Union expressed an interest in expanding their livestock enterprises into cattle and sought the funding for this project to achieve this.
