CPRL alumni, whose role grew crucial in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, felt the need for a refresher course on livestock management (small ruminants and fisheries) to update their knowledge and skills. WASSAN Foundation was selected as the knowledge partner for this initiative.

The course covered backyard poultry breeding, feed and health management, small ruminant production systems, and fisheries stock management across 12 sessions. A total of 32 CPRL alumni were selected based on their thematic commitment, with the first batch launched on 25 November 2020 and completed on 20 December 2020.
