Book (stand-alone)Small livestock development in Rwanda: Policy analysis of pig and poultry value chains 2023
Also available in:
No results found.In 2022, FAO assessed policies and the enabling environment related to innovation in the small livestock subsector in Rwanda, with a focus on pig and poultry value chains and animal feeds. The consultancy study covered eight districts of Rwanda and included 39 key informant interviews and five focus group discussions. A national policy dialogue event in November 2022 in Kigali validated the findings. The consultative process identified and ranked the main problems and policy issues in pig, poultry and animal feeds value chains in the country: · insufficient access to affordable, suitable and nutritious animal feeds; · low market price for animal products compared to input costs; · lack of markets due to cultural perceptions about consumption of chicken, eggs and grilled pork; · financial constraints to smallholder farmer participation in pigs and poultry value chains; · limited farmer access to improved animal breeds; · limited animal health services related to animal diseases, vaccines and drugs; · poor standards of animal sheds in smallholder farms; · limited or poor market infrastructure and processing facilities for animal products; · limited farmer knowledge and skills for rearing pigs and poultry; · poor links between small livestock farmers, feed producers and animal processing facilities; and · lack of transport and logistics for live animals and animal products. Problems can be turned into opportunities: This report identifies policy interventions that the Government of Rwanda and other stakeholders jointly should undertake to address limited access to animal feeds and to facilitate innovation in pig and poultry value chains in Rwanda. The policy dialogue was held under the project “Developing capacities in agricultural innovation systems: scaling up the Tropical Agriculture Platform Framework (TAP-AIS)”, funded by the European Union. -
ProjectTechnical Assistance to the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock to Perform Policy Gap Analysis - TCP/AFG/3606 2020
Also available in:
No results found.In Afghanistan, concerns over food insecurity and malnutrition are major hinderances to ensuring political, economic and social stability. The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) drafted more than 88 policies, strategies, laws, frameworks and procedures in the 2004–2017 period. Yet, only a few of these proposals have been endorsed and implemented, and Afghanistan continues to face major challenges in transforming drafted policies into actions. Greater coordination among departments and ministries of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GoIRA) is required to improve the situation and avoid the duplication of efforts. A comprehensive gap analysis to map the major policies that have already been drafted, along with their relevance, will be crucial to this effort. In addition, compliance with the GoIRA’s national and international commitments in the agriculture sector must be prioritized, with a focus on reconciling disparities between ongoing implementation efforts and these commitments. -
ProjectLivestock Policy Analysis And Monitoring in Viet Nam - TCP/VIE/3501 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Viet Nam has seen remarkable progress in the reduction of rural poverty in recent decades, with the agriculture sector making a substantial contribution. In 2017, the sector had a growth rate of almost three percent per year, with the livestock sector being one of the fastest growing subsectors. However, the sector is faced by many challenges, including the growing demand for high-quality, safe and consistent livestock products, difficulties related to diseases, and growing environmental pollution caused by livestock waste from intensive livestock production and processing. Efforts to understand and manage changes in the livestock sector as a whole have been inadequate. The lack of sufficient and relevant data, analysis and an evaluation/monitoring system is a critical gap with regard to making informed policy choices. The project was designed to provide technical support in the development of livestock analysis and monitoring systems and tools, and to put in place a scalable pilot based on relevant typologies of production systems.
