Abstract

This study aimed at evaluating the effect of goat husbandry and distribution as development projects in income generation and social development in southern Ghore in Jordan. South Ghore is one of the poverty pockets with distinctive characteristics. This triggers searching for suitable developmental strategies without degrading natural environmental resources in this area. The present study includes a sample of 100 surveyed households in six different villages using a questionnaire technique. The findings of the study showed that the common attitudes of the participants' answers were positive concerning the effect of the goat distribution projects on the socioeconomic sustainable development. The findings revealed that the most common obstacle is the high cost of the animal feed which consumes a large portion from livestock production output, in addition to the inappropriate veterinary services in the region and the retrieval of the number of young goats by the granter in the first three years of the project. This research recommends that more development projects are to be conducted on regular bases in these regions due to their significance in development.
