The Livestock Sector Rehabilitation
Project, operational from 1986 through 1995, was seen as
essential in facilitating the new government's
implementation of its economic strategy when it came to
office in 1984. Previous government policy had required that
10 percent of all herds be sold at a fixed price through the
State Cattle Marketing Agency, encobe. This caused many
herders to emigrate and hide their animals in forests or
outside the country. In addition, poor animal health
represented a severe constraint to agricultural productivity
and growth on which approximately 30 percent of the
country's rural population (160,000 families) depended.
All the livestock sector reforms took place within the
context of a major overhaul of the National Livestock Directorate.
