Descripción
A livestock development policy for Tajikistan should focus the attention of the government and the donor community on the fundamentals of sound livestock development for rural poverty alleviation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the main problem for the sustainable development of the livestock sector in Tajikistan--adequate and accessible supplies of feed. The feed-livestock nexus is only one of a number of issues that should be addressed under a sustainable livestock develop ment policy. Other issues such as the establishment of a viable plan for supplying livestock advisory and health services and a livestock breeding policy should also be part of such a policy. However, this study has concentrated on a first-level constraint on rural incomes that, unfortunately, has not received the attention it deserves. It is hoped that this study has shed some light on this issue and provided some basis for beginning a dialogue between the Government of Tajikistan and donors on a sustainable livestock strategy for the country. A comprehensive livestock development strategy for Tajikistan could use these measures as cornerstones of a programme for improving the feed-livestock nexus for Tajikistan.
