Synopsis (short abstract) To provide support to the PPLPI-CALPI supported Livestock Service Delivery Reform Process, a comprehensive study of para-veterinary training programs and ground operations was carried out. The first report entitled ‘Para-veterinary Training Programmes in Andhra Pradesh’ covered various aspects of training of para-veterinarians and of different categories of ‘Animal Health Workers’ (40 to 180 days courses, to prepare candidates for placing as community based selfsupporting animal health workers) in Andhra Pradesh. This second report covers results of field research and discussion on the various ground level issues in Service Delivery by the community based Animal Health Workers (AHWs) including the support and supervision available to them for service delivery.

    Effective control of animal diseases is a critical element of any strategy that aims at supporting and enhancing livestock dependent livelihoods of rural poor. Over the years, the literature on delivery of livestock services has increasingly emphasized that the governments in developing countries have a public responsibility in ensuring that the incidence of animal diseases, specially those diseases that cause substantial economic losses for the poor, is reduced significantly so that the product ion and trade losses are minimized and private costs of treatment substantially reduced.

    In South Asia, PPLPI originally sought engagement in two states of India: Orissa and Andhra Pradesh, because these two states have relatively large numbers of livestock-dependent poor while the political climate seemed to offer good prospects for pro-poor livestock policy reform. In close consultation with local stakeholders, the policy context in the two States was reviewed and a number of livestock-related policy measures affecting the poor livestock keepers and desirable changes were identifi ed. In her assessment of the political economy of the livestock sector in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, carried out for PPLPI, Turner (2004, PPLPI Working Paper 9) concluded that pro-poor implementation of animal health service reforms was one of five potential areas in which PPLPI and partners could engage.
