LPU
In 1982 the International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA) established a Livestock Policy Unit (LP7U). The objectives of the LPU are:
1. To heighten the awareness in African governments and in other organisations of the importance of livestock policy issues.2. To collate in an easily assimilable form what is already known about policy issues and to present it to policy makers.
3. To carry out research of Its own (including that commissioned from consultants) on priority livestock policy issues and to present the results to policy makers.
4. To encourage others to carry out similar research and to assist in presenting their results to policy makers.
LPU Working Papers
Staff members and consultants of the LPU write working papers at several stages during their research on a topic. Publication of the final results of research may not occur until several years after the research started. The LPU, therefore, makes its working documents available to anyone requesting them in order to provide access to data and ideas on African livestock policy Issues as early as possible to those with a need for them.
