The project aims to restore local capacity for milk production through training, improved collection and distribution networks, and support to local milk producers. Phase I of the project will establish three milk production centers to attain greater productivity and efficiency. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the project's implementing agency, indicated that "This project will foster job creation and strengthen the rural economy. Milk provides relatively quick returns for small-scale livestock keepers. It is a balanced nutritious food and is a key element in household food security."
