dc.descriptionAgriculture is the single most important source of livelihood for the majority of the world’s extreme / absolute (< 1$/day) poor. Since most poor rural households keep livestock as part of their portfolio of agricultural activities, agricultural populations are still increasing while land is becoming increasingly scarce, and the demand for animal source food is rapidly growing, investing into livestock sector development appears a promising means for governments and the development community to contribute to agricultural growth and thereby accelerate poverty reduction. The success of ‘standard’ agricultural development projects in general and of livestock sector development projects in particular in contributing to large-scale and persisting poverty reduction has been at best mixed, whereas policy and institutional reforms which improve the ‘business environment’ for the livestock-dependent poor and other stakeholders along the value chain have been shown to hold more promise for steer ing the livestock sector onto a ‘pro-poor’ development pathway.
