No results found.This is the 45th of a series of Working Papers prepared for the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI). The purpose of these papers is to explore issues related to livestock development in the context of poverty alleviation. Livestock is vital to the economies of many developing countries. Animals are a source of food, more specifically protein for human diets, income, employment and possibly foreign exchange. For low income producers, livestock can serve as a store of wealth, provide drau ght power and organic fertiliser for crop production and a means of transport. Consumption of livestock and livestock products in developing countries, though starting from a low base, is growing rapidly. -
Book (series)Technical reportLivestock sector development for poverty reduction: an economic and policy perspective Livestock’s many virtues 2012
Also available in:
Livestock contribute to the livelihoods of an estimated 70 percent of the world’s rural poor. The increasing demand for animal protein in low- and middle-income countries provides an opportunity for the poor to improve their livelihoods. However, the nature of livestock farming and marketing of livestock and their products is determined by policy and institutional frameworks that rarely favour the poor. Launched in 2001 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Pro-P oor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI) facilitates and supports the formulation and implementation of livestock-related policies and institutional changes that have a positive impact on the world’s poor. To achieve this, PPLPI combines stakeholder engagement with research and analysis, information dissemination and capacity strengthening. Livestock sector development for poverty reduction: an economic and policy perspective reviews major aspects of the livestock-poverty interface with the ob jective of identifying the conditions under which livestock can be an effective tool for poverty reduction; the interventions that allow livestock’s poverty reduction potential to be unlocked, and the contexts in which they do so; and ways of facilitating sustainable implementation of these interventions.

BookletTechnical briefTheory of change for gender transformative programming for food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture
Technical note
2024This technical note presents the theory of change for gender transformative programming for food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture. It aims to provide the rationale for development actors and practitioners to adopt the theory of change for gender transformative change in interventions contributing to the achievement of SustainableDevelopment Goal 2 – Zero Hunger.The theory of change was produced by the Joint Programme on Gender Transformative Approaches for Food Security and Nutrition (JP GTA) and offers a conceptual framework to assist the United Nations Rome-based Agencies – FAO, IFAD and WFP – and their partners in designing and implementing gender equality work with a transformational and sustainable impact.This technical note comprises two main sections. Section one provides background information on the logic and key assumptions of the theory of change, and general considerations for its use. Section two provides examples of how the theory of change was used in two pilot projects supported by the JP GTA in Ecuador and Malawi. These examples display some of the potential ways in which the theory of change can be used to strengthen the design and implementation of food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture interventions.
