Democratic People’s Republic of Korea – 2 Trainings on Dairy Farming and Milk Processing
General context:
The DPRK remains one of the most isolated countries in the world, especially since international sanctions have been strengthened in response to its nuclear program. Despite the lack of information, we know that a large part of the population lives in precarious conditions. According to the latest “needs and priorities” report published by the United Nations, it is estimated that 10.5 million people are undernourished in the country, representing more than 42% of the population. The majority of children under 5 as well as 50% of pregnant and lactating women suffer from nutritional deficiencies, leading to high rates of malnutrition.
PUI’s intervention is twofold:
Within the farms : a support program with ato directly impact on milk production and its distribution to 3 400 children from 0 to 7 years, beneficiaries of the project, with a specific objective: “to contribute to improve children’s nutritional status and households’ resilience, through the reinforcement of goat rearing practices at community and households level, in South Hwanghae Province”.
Within the university : a cooperation program to indirectly impact on milk production through training of future farm managers and provincial agricultural policy makers, with a specific objective: “to strengthen the technical and institutional capacities of the Provincial Agricultural University of Haeju enabling it to play a significant part in the improvement of food security and agriculture development in South Hwanghae Province”.

A High Training Academic standardsHigh-level training will be provided to 20 professors and researchers of Haeju Universit, to strengthen the level of technical and scientific knowledge of the teaching team and give the professors an update about the state of play of international studies.
