The project also plans 144 field schools to train 4,000 herders in pasture and livestock management, with women expected to make up at least 40 per cent of participants. A national database will be connected to early-warning systems. These are project plans; IFAD’s announcement does not say the stations or centres have already been completed."],"key_points":[],"sections":[]},"text":"IFAD’s three-year SMART-Herders project aims to support 4,000 herding families in Bayankhongor and Dundgovi with a US$2 million Adaptation Fund grant.\n\nThe International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) said on 6 October that a three-year SMART-Herders project had launched in Mongolia to help herding families cope with harsher weather.
