Book (stand-alone)Improved animal health for poverty reduction and sustainable livelihoods 2002
Also available in:
No results found.This manual is one of the outcomes of the 1996 World Food Summit resolutions on the need to achieve global food security. It examines the serious and worsening problems of animal diseases and veterinary health worldwide. Animal diseases are a major constraint to livestock production and safe utilization of animal products everywhere. They are devastating for poor livestock farmers and farming communities in developing countries. Improved animal health for poverty and sustainable livelihood exami nes practical ways of reducing poverty and creating sustainable livelihoods among rural populations in the developing world by improving the health of livestock. Demand for animal products is likely to increase dramatically in the next two decades, and producers will benefit from increased trade oopportunities. The extent to which producers in poor countries will share the benefits depends on the production levels they can achieve and on whether their products will be accpeted as tradable commod ities. These determining factors are inextricably linked to the health of their livestock. The manual looks at ways of improving national animal health policies and delivery systems through objective analysis of problems and training of personnel; the importance of raising public awareness is underlined. It stresses the need for global response strategies to support animal and public health issues and sustain national and local initiatives. An important element of the manual is that its lessons are drawn from extensive practical experience worldwide, particularly in developing countries. -

No results found.This report summarizes the main findings of the International Workshop “Integrated territorial and landscape approaches for poverty reduction and sustainability: Innovation and challenges from country led implementation” held in Rome from the 10th to the 12th of December 2019. The Workshop was an activity of the project “Strengthening the implementation of territorial development and landscape approaches for sustainable rural development and poverty reduction,” funded by the Millennium Development Goals Fund (MDGF). It was implemented by the Land and Water Division (CBL), with the support of the Social Policies and Institutions Division (ESP), the FAO’s Strategic Programs for Sustainable Agriculture (SP2) and for Rural Poverty Reduction (SP3). The project supported the participating countries (Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Lebanon and Moldova) in systematizing country-led case studies on implementing territorial and landscape approaches, using a common methodology. They were presented during the international Workshop in Rome. The results of this final systematization confirm that (i) multi-level and cross-sectoral coordination are key to address power imbalances, identify trade-offs and negotiate synergetic approaches, (ii) to secure long-term and coordinated financing, this integrated approaches must become institutionalized, moving from isolated and short-lived projects, into policies and programmes. -
Book (stand-alone)Local economy-wide impact evaluation of Lesotho’s Child Grants Programme and Sustainable Poverty Reduction through Income, Nutrition and Access to Government Services Project 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This report presents findings from a study of the local-economy impacts of one of Lesotho’s largest social programmes, the Child Grants Programme (CGP), and a rural development intervention, the Sustainable Poverty Reduction through Income, Nutrition and Access to Government Services (SPRINGS) programme. The CGP provides cash transfers to eligible poor households, while SPRINGS was a multi-faceted productive intervention targeting areas reached by the CGP, that provided support in various forms. The study is part of a larger project - a partnership between FAO, IFAD and the Universidad de los Andes (UNIANDES) and its Centro de Estudios en Desarrollo Económico (CEDE) - that seeks to identify factors that lead to better articulation between social protection interventions and rural productive inclusion strategies.
