Synopsis (short abstract) The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) originally endorsed the preparation and implementation of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) by borrower countries seeking to benefit from the enhanced HIPC (Highly Indebted Poor Countries) Initiative. The PRSP model, although originally conceived in the context of the HIPC debt relief initiative, is now the centrepiece for policy dialogue in all countries receiving concessional lending flows from the World Bank and IMF.

This is the first of a series of “Working Papers” prepared by the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative. The purpose of this series is to review issues affecting livestock development in relation to poverty alleviation. The livestock sector plays a vital role in the economies of many developing countries. It provides food, or more specifically animal protein in human diets, income, employment and possibly foreign exchange. For low income producers, livestock also serve as a store of wealth, provi de draught power and organic fertiliser for crop production and a means of transport. Consumption of livestock and livestock products in the developing countries, though starting from a low base, is growing rapidly.
