This meeting was held to strengthen JRA using a One Health approach in the WHO South-East Asia Region. In the meeting, the countries shared good practices, lessons and challenges in conducting JRA, practiced the application of the Tripartite JRA OT and identified priority actions to further advance JRA to guide collaborative risk management activities using a One Health approach. The meeting recommended further strengthening JRA at the human–animal–environment interface by engaging multisectoral One Health stakeholders in the respective country context. It was suggested that the actual application of JRA in the country may require a “learning by doing” approach. -

Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative: A Living from Livestock
2007Also available in:
No results found.Engagement in livestock production is an important income generating activity among agricultural households in rural areas in the developing regions of the world. The rapidly increasing demand for livestock products at the global level, particularly due to increasing populations, increasing per capita incomes, and rapid urbanization in the developing countries, presents opportunities for the rural poor in these countries to participate in and benefit from such growth. On the other hand, in the s upply side of the market, new technologies as well as new organizations in production, processing, procurement and distribution systems have emerged to more efficiently meet not only the larger volumes required but also the increasing demand by consumers for food products quality and safety, apart from complying with public rules and regulations governing the trade in livestock products. Within this environment, there is no automatic link between the engagement in livestock as livelihood source by rural households and the increasing demand for livestock products. Strong market links between livestock producers in the rural areas and the growing markets for livestock products within the economy is a necessary condition for taking advantage of these opportunities for increased incomes by rural livestock keepers.
