    Emergency guidelines and standards for livestock in Pakistan - GCP/PAK/134/USA 2019

    Around 62 percent of Pakistan’s population lives in rural areas, which are highly susceptible to natural disasters. Resource-poor rural households possess relatively high financial assets in the form of livestock and are largely dependent on animals for their food security and livelihoods. The impacts of disaster are extremely detrimental to the population, above all to rural dwellers, because of their high exposure to hazards and vulnerability. Natural and anthropogenic disasters severely affect people’s livelihoods through loss of assets, including livestock. In order to protect livestock during such disasters and to rebuild the livestock-based livelihoods of the affected communities, the current project was designed to provide Pakistan with a Livestock Emergency Guidelines and Standards (LEGS). The overall goal of the project was to develop a cadre of trainers capable of delivering the LEGS tool in the assessment, design, implementation and evaluation of livestock interventions in order to protect livestock and the livestock-based livelihoods of affected populations through humanitarian assistance.

    Palestinians in the WBGS face a protracted crisis; durable and sustainable solutions are needed to protect and promote their livelihoods beyond short-term responses. In an effort to link relief, rehabilitation and development, this project represents the institutional component of a larger programme funded by the European Union to provide “Support for Livestock-based Livelihoods of Vulnerable Populations in the Occupied Territories”. Under this project, FAO successfully led the coordination of all developmental activities to enhance public capacities of the Ministry of Agriculture in the livestock sector by putting new systems and processes in place. In order to ensure sustainability of the project’s results, the evaluation recommends that the Palestinian Authority enact policies to make livestock product supply meet demand, that greater awareness of the importance of tagging animals is built among herders and that an assessment be conducted of the international livestock market.
