Descripción
Following the poor experiences of state-led and market-based delivery systems of animal health services in the last decades, developing country governments are experimenting with new and innovative policy instruments to concomitantly improve the public delivery of animal health services and to sustain efficient and equitable markets for animal health services, particularly in low-income rural settings. In this paper, a demand-supply framework is used to identify and categorise the various policy instruments available to decision makers to improve the quality and coverage of public and private animal health services in remote rural areas, including decentralisation; cost-recovery mechanisms; combined human-animal public health service delivery; sub-contracting; provision of subsidies/grants to animal health service suppliers and / or livestock keepers; institutionalisation of community animal health workers; support to membership and / or non-membership organisations.
