Descripción

This working paper has been prepared jointly for the Intergovernmental Authority on Development Livestock Policy Initiative (IGAD LPI) and the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI). The IGAD LPI was established by IGAD in collaboration with FAO and with financial support from the European Commission. Its main objective is to enhance the contribution of the livestock sector to sustainable food security and poverty reduction in the IGAD region. The initiative works towards the core outputs of IGAD’s programmes on policy harmonization, agriculture and the environment and regionally integrated information systems. The work described in this paper contributes towards making available standardised spatial data to help analyse policy options, to target policy interventions and to evaluate their impact – contributing to the evidence base underpinning pro-poor livestock policies.
