BookletCorporate general interestLinking community-based animal health services with natural resource conflict mitigation in the Abyei Administrative Area 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The Abyei Administrative Area (AAA) is a contested zone located on the central border between South Sudan and Sudan. Its status has remained unresolved since South Sudan seceded from Sudan in 2011, and the governments failed to agree on the border division. A United Nations peacekeeping mission, the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA), has since monitored the situation. It is entrusted with overseeing demilitarisation and maintaining security in the area. Mistrust and lack of dialogue have been critical components of this conflict. FAO has played a key role in initiating and facilitating a process focused on dialogue and building social cohesion at grassroots level, contributing to wider sustaining peace initiatives. FAO identified a window of opportunity through the technical delivery of community-based animal health veterinary services (embedded in an agricultural livelihood support strategy), in an effort to improve inter-community relations and contribute to s ustaining peace objectives. -

ProjectFactsheetStrengthening Regulatory Framework for Effective Delivery of Community-Based Animal Health Services in Nigeria - TCP/NIR/3807 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, with an estimated population of 206 million. Over the next three decades, this population is expected to grow rapidly and undergo significant changes. By 2050, the population will have nearly doubled to around 400 million, and the number of people living in urban areas will triple from the current 94 million to 280 million. Additionally, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita is projected to nearly triple, reaching approximately USD 7 137 in Purchasing Power Parities (PPP). Consequently, the demand for livestock products will increase dramatically, with projections indicating that consumption of poultry meat, beef, and milk will rise by 253 percent, 117 percent, and 577 percent respectively. The resulting high demand for animal food due to this demand in livestock will likely necessitate some level of import for certain livestock commodities in the future, even with significant improvements in livestock productivity. Albeit essential for the livelihoods of many Nigerians, livestock has been found to impact the environment and public health both positively and negatively. Furthermore, it provides a crucial source of income for many, particularly women. However, the lack of veterinary services at all levels greatly restricts its potential
