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.

Impact Assessment of the Community Animal Health System in Mandera West Distr...copppldsecretariat
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.

Janvier Gasasira, project coordinator of an IFAD-supported project in Rwanda, shared this story at the Second Global AgriKnowledge Share Fair IFAD, Rome, 26-29 September 2011.
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’.

This process manual has emerged from experiences gained in the AP drought Adaptation Initiative (AP DAI), building on earlier experiences of WASSAN. The experiences have emerged from working with the Mandal Mahila Samakhyas (Federation of SHGs) in Mahabubnagar and Antapur districts of Andhra Pradesh.
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.

Small Ruminant Rearing – Product Markets, Opportunities and Constraintscopppldsecretariat
This report aims to place the economic context of small ruminant rearing within broader policy and institutional frameworks, and studies the value chains of goat and sheep meat, goat and sheep skin, and sheep wool. The study also documents some of the approaches and practices on small ruminant rearing submitted in response to SAPPLPP’s call for the same.
The objective of the study is the analysis and documentation of approaches and practices related to market prospects, and identification of opportunities for facilitating access of small-holder livestock owners to more remunerative markets.
The report successfully attempts to construct the value chains of three important products of the small ruminant sector - meat, leather and wool.

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.

2. The Belgian Platform on Tropical Animal Health &
Production was created in 2006
• Responds to the request of the Belgian Cooperation to
create focal points for different disciplines
• Funding DGDC from 2006 onwards (Directorate-general
Development Cooperation – working budget + 30 % FTE since 2008)
• Secretariat located at the department of Animal Health,
Institute of Tropical medicine Antwerp
3. objectives are
• to create an informal network allowing exchange of
information among Belgian experts and partners
• to stimulate synergy and coherence in the field
• to improve the relations with the agricultural and the
medical sector (One health principle)
4. • to participate in advocacy for keeping livestock on the
agenda (Livestock dilemma with ELIDEV, Livestock
week 2009, contacts with other platforms – FVI, Heifer
NL, Swiss LivestockNet, CTA Brussels Briefings, …)

human development, to be achieved by combating poverty, based on the concept of
partnership and in compliance with development criteria.”
and
“Belgian International Cooperation shall engage in direct bilateral cooperation in the
following 5 sectors:
Basic healthcare, including reproductive health;
Education and training;
Agriculture and food security;
Basic infrastructure;
Conflict prevention and social consolidation.”

10. main global challenges
• demographic growth
• increased urbanisation
• climate changes
• globalisation of the market
• world energy demand
11. Dual role of livestock
In attaining Millennium Development Goals
MDG 1 - Poverty reduction
& hunger
MDG 7 – sustainable
development
12. • Aid should be in accordance with the Declaration of
Paris on aid efficiency and with the key-messages of
the Accra High Level Forum.
• A prerequisite to invest in that sector in a given country
is that the country pays enough attention to the sector,
gives the necessary institutional support and allocates
sufficient budget to it.
• Mitigating the negative aspects : as livestock-related
activities contribute 1°to the ecological footprint , 2°
climate change, 3°air and water pollution, and 4°
transmission of disease to man mitigating those
negative aspects should also be included as a key
element in each intervention
13. Target groups (1/2)
human-centred approach
good comprehension of the decision-making
mechanisms in various communities the main
challenge being to harmonise a community-led
approach with a commodity driven market for
the benefit of poor populations
from commodity to community concept.
14. Target groups (2/2)
• Small-scale farmers in areas with high or
medium-high agricultural potential
• Urban and peri-urban livestock keepers
• Pastoralists
15. Pastoralists
• mostly keeping livestock in arid and semi-arid (remote)
areas.
• Livestock system is extensive and animals are moving
from one place to another to optimise the use of this
specific ecosystem, e.g. the scarce rangeland and
water supply.
• The survival of this group is largely based on the
management of the environment (grassland)
• Advantage : they are valorising zones that are not
or less suitable for agricultural production or non-
ruminant livestock production.
16. community-led sustainable
livestock development
• Strengthening farmers and communities
- education and information: animal husbandry, market,
negotiation skills (sellers & collectors), environment
- gender issues (education, promotion of adapted activities …)
- organise information flow (i.a. current prices, movements)
• Strengthening animal disease control
- veterinary public health (food safety & nutrition)
- delivery of vet services (privatisation, CAHW’s, remote areas)
17. • Strengthening livestock service delivery
- privatisation + state services more active in remote areas
- promotion of private extension where possible
- adapted inputs : local breeds, dairy/beef
- water supply management (wells committees)
- small species for women (poultry, mini-livestock)
• Access to financial services (saving, credit, insurance)
- increase the visibility of the production (from informal to formal)
- allow perpetuating traditional systems of money lending
(warm vs cold money)
- alternative systems of protection (insurance) and savings to
increase destocking
18. • Access to market
- two approaches : value chain approach + New Institutional
Economics
- avoid di-symmetric information flow + monopolistic input
supply
- processing is important, but new standards
- shortening the market chain
- community seller or collector versus middlemen
19. Specific approaches
for arid and semi-arid areas
Herd or flock mobility in arid settings = guarantee
for the preservation and the valorisation of the
environment.
past initiatives to promote settlement of the
nomadic groups had a very negative impact on
the ecology of the zone.
20. Supporting the traditional livestock systems
while adapting them to the new economical and
ecological challenges sounds to be the most
effective.
21. detailed approach
• valorisation of traditional knowledge at all levels
• guaranteeing herd mobility
• promote destocking of old and unproductive
animals or at the on-set of a dry period spell
(announced by community based early warning
systems)
• Provide alternative saving opportunities to the cattle
bank
22. • development of sound specific commercial chains with
an adequate control system
• Improvement of conflict management through
increased dialogue among the actors.
Pacification of those areas is a fundamental requirement
to guarantee the viability of the system !!
• development of innovative approaches helping to reach
the pastoralists despite their mobility
• improving water access and management (wells
committee, …)
• taking livestock production into account in the various
rural development policies
• A political consensus regarding pastoral development
should be reached at regional level regarding
23. Axes of priority research
• Identify feed – and water efficient local breeds.
• Map genetic resistance to environmental conditions (climate,
diseases, parasites, …) in indigenous and improved breeds must
be investigated.
• Select fodder plants and feed resources combining an acceptable
nutritional value and a capacity to enhance the energy and water-
use efficiency of the production systems.
• Investigate or develop new technologies allowing the use of non
conventional feed resources.
• Develop animal feeding strategies, including range management,
within a larger frame of climate changes and reduction of available
rangeland (e.g. re-use of water and organic solid waste as feed
…).
• Implement a multidisciplinary research (with anthropologists, …) to
better understand perceptions and attitudes
