This document summarizes key findings from visits to Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, and South Africa regarding scaling up access to antiretroviral treatment. It finds that lack of human resources is seen as the biggest obstacle, as health worker shortages are severe and increasing due to illness, death, and brain drain. While funds are becoming available for drugs, none of the countries have comprehensive strategies to address the shortage of qualified staff needed to implement ambitious national treatment plans, which aim to increase those receiving treatment by 50-fold or more within just a few years. Addressing the human resources crisis for health is critical to achieve treatment targets and ensure long-term sustainability of health systems overwhelmed by AIDS.
Public-Private Partnerships for Harnessing the Potential of Rainfed AgricultureJoachim von Braun
This document discusses opportunities for public-private partnerships (PPPs) in agriculture, particularly in marginal rainfed areas. It notes that while agri-food systems are increasingly globalized and market-driven, peoples' ability to respond varies greatly. PPPs can improve access to technologies, expertise, markets and distribution networks. However, the roles of different sectors remain contested. The document examines options for PPPs in research and development, water management, and infrastructure to boost production of high-value crops in rainfed areas. Case studies from India demonstrate how PPPs have increased adoption of improved seeds and mobilized resources for research.

This case study summarizes a successful community-based food security project in Lesotho that integrated sustainable agriculture, income generation, and disaster risk reduction. The project was implemented by the Lesotho Red Cross Society in two vulnerable districts. It established household gardens, fruit trees, and small pig farms. After two years, beneficiaries reported producing 75% of food needs and earning income from vegetable and pig sales. The participatory approach helped ensure community ownership and the potential for replication. Key lessons included using local resources, integrating sectors like HIV/AIDS support, and developing clear entry/exit strategies to sustain impacts over time.
The document describes Indonesia's National Community Empowerment Program (PNCE), which consolidates 53 poverty reduction programs into a unified system to be implemented in 2009. The PNCE aims to empower communities and alleviate poverty through community-driven development. It provides block grants and technical assistance to communities to implement small-scale infrastructure projects and economic activities. The program is expected to more efficiently and effectively reduce poverty and inequality in Indonesia by harmonizing existing poverty initiatives and ensuring resources reach vulnerable communities.
Accounting involves recording, classifying, and summarizing financial transactions and events in a way that adheres to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It is both an art and a science - it applies scientific principles and methods (the science) but also involves judgment and decision making (the art). Proper accounting provides useful financial information to both internal and external users of the financial statements and allows for informed decision making.

This document discusses how family poultry development can help achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals. It describes how small livestock like poultry, rabbits, and pigs can help reduce poverty and hunger by providing nutrition, income generation opportunities, and a way to cope with economic shocks for poor families. Keeping small livestock can also help achieve universal primary education by generating cash for school fees, promote gender equality by empowering women, and reduce child mortality by improving nutrition. The document analyzes data showing the impacts family poultry programs have had in increasing incomes, consumption of animal products, and supporting livelihoods in countries like Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

The document discusses IFAD's priorities and role in promoting bioenergy and smallholder agriculture. It notes that IFAD has supported over 300 million rural poor people through 829 projects in 115 countries. Smallholder farms are important, with 500 million farms worldwide supporting over 2 billion people. The document discusses opportunities and risks for agriculture, and the role of smallholders and options like cash crops, livestock integration and agro-processing in closing the poverty gap. It advocates using biofuels to expand opportunities for rural smallholders while ensuring food security and environmental sustainability.
Innovations and incentives in agricultural research for poor countries ILRI
Presented by Delia Grace and Tom Randolph at the third annual conference on Agricultural Research for Development: Innovations and Incentives, Uppsala, Sweden, 26-27 September 2012
This document discusses the challenges facing global agriculture and smallholder farmers. It notes that agriculture is increasingly important given threats to global food supply, but productivity has stagnated. Smallholder agriculture remains the dominant form worldwide and is key to reducing poverty. New opportunities exist through market-driven development that organizes smallholders along value chains. Public-private partnerships that bridge viability gaps can attract private sector investment in smallholder agriculture by creating new markets and demonstrating creditworthiness of smallholder farmers.
Small livestock like poultry, rabbits, and guinea pigs can help achieve several UN Millennium Development Goals through poverty reduction and improved nutrition, health, and empowerment of women. Keeping small livestock allows even landless families to generate income, provides high-quality food, and produces manure for crops. Projects supporting small livestock have increased incomes, school attendance, and consumption of protein-rich foods in developing countries.

Conflict and civil insecurity are the main drivers of food insecurity in the region. However, peace is fundamental to food security and food security is fundamental for keeping peace. FAO's initiatives include: 1) Strengthening of capacities for developing coherent policy frameworks and investment programmes for sustainable food security and nutrition
2)Developing efficient evidence-based food security information systems for decision support systems; 3) Promoting the development of efficient and sustainable food systems with specific attention to reducing food losses and waste; 4)Promoting sustainable access of households to safe, nutritious and diversified food; 4)Building the resilience of households and communities and agro-eco systemsto anticipate, absorb and recover from the negative impacts of the man-made and natural shockswith Cash-for-Work and Food Production Assistance Programs.
The global livestock sector: Opportunities and challengesILRI
The global livestock sector faces many challenges in sustainably meeting the growing demand for food while balancing trade-offs between efficiency, livelihoods, and the environment. Key issues include climate change, water and land scarcity, disease risks, and debates around large versus small-scale production systems. Addressing these complex challenges will require reliable assessments of hard trade-offs and achieving equity across scales from local to global.

Healthy lives: Tackling food-borne diseases and zoonoses ILRI
This document discusses the large burden that agriculture imposes on human health through emerging diseases, foodborne diseases, zoonoses, and malnutrition. It notes that agriculture is associated with 3 million deaths per year globally, with zoonoses and foodborne diseases alone killing 2.2 million people annually. The poor are most affected by these diseases. Agricultural solutions exist for controlling many agriculture-associated diseases, with benefits often outweighing costs. Improving food safety practices in informal markets through training and certification programs can significantly improve health outcomes.

The impacts of Health Crisis (Covid-19) on achieving the SDGs
By
Dr. DatchanaMoorthy Ramu
Date: 20th July 2020
Time 7 PM IST
IFAD provides loans to support agricultural development projects that benefit smallholder and rural poor farmers in developing countries. From 1979 to 2009, IFAD funded over 800 projects in 115 countries totaling over $12 billion. Smallholder farms worldwide support around 2 billion people and produce most of the food in developing countries. Biofuels have potential to expand opportunities for smallholder farmers but also risks related to food security and environmental impacts that need to be addressed through research on non-food crop options and sustainable farming practices. IFAD's strategic objectives focus on improving poor farmers' access to natural resources, technologies, markets, and decision making to help them overcome risks and take advantage of opportunities in agriculture and rural development.
From a local experience of minimum till to a strategy for no-til development ...Joanna Hicks
- CA adoption in France is less than 1% due to human and policy factors that have favored conventional tillage agriculture
- A study of the history of CA in France found that "min-till" systems from the 1970s-2000 focused on high production and inputs rather than soil health or cover crops, limiting adoption rates
- Since 2000 some pioneer farmers discovered no-till systems from Brazil and saw good results but neighbors did not adopt due to ignorance, dependence on conventional opinions, and lack of support
- To increase adoption, no-till farmers in France created an Institute to assess sustainability through indicators, communicate results, and advocate for policies supporting CA and sustainable agriculture
This webinar looked at how governments can catalyse the development of agriculture insurance markets through a variety of interventions such as the provision, administration and management of subsidies, support for developing infrastructure for effective implementation of insurance programmes, investment in collection and sharing of data and customer education. It also looked at the government's role in developing enabling regulations and using insurance as a part of their social protection and agriculture development agendas. This webinar was organized together with the WBG's Global Index Insurance Facility, the USAID & Basis/I4-supported Global Action Network for agriculture insurance.
Speakers: Lena Heron (USAID), Peter Wrede (the World Bank) and Vincent Tithinji Ngari (Government of Kenya).
Recognising local innovation in livestock-keeping – a path to empowering womencopppldsecretariat
Prolinnova is an international network that involves a range of different stakeholders. The network promotes farmer-led approaches to development such as participatory innovation development. Farmers and natural resource users often find novel ways of using natural resources to address challenges and improve their livelihoods. In many rural communities, women do not have the same access as men to resources such as land. They also often have much less decision-making power or capacity. Giving recognition to, and supporting, the innovative capacity of women farmers is seen as an effective mechanism to strengthen their role in rural research and development.

This report documents the experiences of the Watershed Organisation Trust in implementing the Indo German Watershed Development Programme (IGWDP) in Maharashtra, India. The documentation is based on project completion reports, extensive field visits and discussions with field staff and livestock rearing communities.
The study demonstrates that watershed development has immense scope to secure livestock-based livelihoods and, at the same time, build the natural resource base. This is possible, provided key elements such as securing availability and access to CPRs; investments in CPR regeneration with ridge (largely comprising forest lands)-to-valley approach; integration of grazing-based livestock systems and water budgeting in watershed planning; protection of ‘high potential recharge zones’; and utilizing traditional livestock systems to manage watersheds post-project, are in place.

The pastoralist communities in Kenya’s arid lands rely on their livestock for food and income, and basic veterinary care is one of the best ways to protect livestock assets and pastoralist livelihoods in these areas. This report examines the impact of a privatized, community-based veterinary service in the far northeast of Kenya, and focuses on the outcomes of clinical services provided by community-based animal health workers (CAHWs). Fatality rates in herds in treated by CAHWs using medicines from rural pharmacies were significantly lower than in herds where treatments were provided by untrained livestock keepers. The report adds to the substantial body of evidence already collected in Kenya on the impact and financial rationale for CAHW systems. Although many other countries have now legalized these systems and developed national guidelines for CAHW training, Kenya has yet to officially recognize CAHWs and overall, veterinary services in pastoralist areas often remain in the hands of untrained workers and unlicensed drug vendors.

Rucibiraro Theresphore, 49, received a cow from an IFAD project in Rwanda in 2007. Saving his earnings and opening a bank account, he was eventually able to purchase 2,500 chickens and another piece of land. Earlier this year he received the ‘best farmer’ award at the National Agriculture Show. Over the past four years, each of six neighbours received a cow from him through the project’s revolving fund – perhaps one of them will be the next ‘best farmer’.

The manual captures the essence of experience from field work. It provides a road-map and process steps for organizations that wish to initiate programs to strengthem backyard poultry.
Though the experiences in APDAI started from introducing “improved”birds from research institutions., it has been realized that improving the management systems and easing the constraints in traditional backyard poultry with local breeds is more important and sustained results.

कभी खूब घना
कभी मुट्ठी भर चना
और कभी वोह भी मना
(Jainul Aabeedin, West Bengal)
This business of goats -
Sometimes it flourishes
Sometimes it yields only a handful of chickpeas
And sometimes even that is denied

Unpacking the 'Poor Productivity' Myth - Women Resurrecting Poultry Biodivers...copppldsecretariat
1800 women of East Godavari, Andhra Pradesh spell out the new principles for in-situ indigenous poultry development! This initiative lead to a remarkable reduction in mortality, tripled financial benefits from poultry rearing, worked as a trigger to diversify agriculture practices and allowed women to reclaim their lost poultry heritage.
This note captures the women’s journey from marginalization to empowerment and answers two key questions…
How can indigenous backyard poultry contribute to livelihood development?
&
Are these initiatives sustainable?

Development of Village Institutions for Equitable & Sustainable Access to Nat...copppldsecretariat
This Good Practice Note illustrates the practice of local institutional development and its role in pro-poor livestock development in the context of village Jhabla in Udaipur district of Rajasthan in the western part of India.
The work initiated by Seva Mandir in late 1980s has borne fruit as after two decades it demonstrates its robustness in gripping local community dynamics and assisting in providing better opportunities for livestock rearing. It highlights the need to reconsider inclusion of communities in governing their natural resources especially the forests and open pasture lands, which is a step in the right direction.

This Good Practice challenges the misconception that community managed commons are more degraded than privatised ones.
Working in the most arid areas of Madhya Pradesh, Tree Grower Cooperative Societies secure community tenure over common land, build local social capital though multi-stakeholder village institutions to fulfil the Community based Natural Resource Management dream. This leads to a significant increase in biomass, vegetative cover, fodder and water availability that provides a boost to livestock development and establishes the importance of village institutions in Common Property Resource management.

Backyard Poultry Farming Through Self-Help Groups in West Bengal - Towards Go...copppldsecretariat
The Scheme 'Distribution of cocks, drakes and cockerels, etc.' involves the distribution of Rhode Island Red (RIR) chickens and Khaki Campbell (KC) ducks to rural households. This is a centrally-sponsored family-based Scheme wherein the Department of Animal Resources Development, Government of West Bengal distributes poultry birds to marginal rural households throughout the State. This scheme shows that not only can it contribute to rural poverty reduction but also that, despite some shortcomings and the rather high subsidies, it is possibly bankable and could be strengthened and scaled-up through appropriate public private partnerships.

4. Thinking about Public Goods –Based on
Economic Principles
Pure Public Goods share two qualities:
Nonexcludability --which means that when
provided to one party, the public good is
provided to all.
Nonrivalary --which means that the
consumption of the Public Good by one
party does not reduce the amount available
to others.
5. High
Rivalry
Common Pool Goods
Communal rangelands Private Goods
Water (volume and quality) On-farm production, processing,
Air quality (including and distribution (quality standards)
protection against climate Most clinical veterinary and

Animal genetic resources and Most input supplies (feed, seed,
other sources of biodiversity etc.)

Cannot ignore threats to human health from emerging and reemerging zoonotic disease, One new disease has emerged every year over the last two decades, and about 75 percent of these have been zoonotic. Policy choices, and careful investment interventions are required to address issues ranging from the intensification of production systems, improving market efficiencies, food safety along value chains and ensuring sustainable natural resources.
