ProjectEmergency Support to Restore the Livelihoods of the Poor Farming Poultry Producers Affected by the El Niño-Induced Drought and Salt-Water Intrusion Effect - TCP/VIE/3605 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Against the backdrop of one of the worst droughts in history, attributed to the El Niño event, a total of 52 of the 63 provinces (83 percent) of Viet Nam were affected by drought in 2016, and 18 provinces were declared to be in a State of Emergency at the peak of the drought in May 2016. The latest assessments (in October 2016) showed that in the three most affected regions of the country, namely the Central Highlands, Central and Mekong Delta regions, the lack of water (also as a result of salt intrusion) caused significant damage/losses, 45 percent of which were related to the 2016 main winter/spring paddy crops and 50 percent to the livestock, mainly poultry, pigs, sheep and goats. National/local authorities and farmers, who had not experienced this level of severity of drought and salinity intrusion before, were not sufficiently prepared to address the situation. The project worked towards restoring the agriculturebased livelihoods of poor farming households in the six most affected provinces, through the distribution of livestock and animal feed, and the provision of good husbandry and biosecurity training to extension workers and affected farmers. -

Book (series)Pro-Poor Livestock: PolicyReview of Household Poultry Production as a Tool in Poverty Reduction with Focus on Bangladesh and India PPLPI Working 2003
Also available in:
No results found.This is the sixth of a series of “Working Papers” prepared for the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI). The purpose of these papers is to explore issues related to livestock development in the context of poverty alleviation. Livestock is vital to the economies of many developing countries. Animals are a source of food, more specifically protein for human diets, income, employment and possibly foreign exchange. For low income producers, livestock can serve as a store of wealth, provide d raught power and organic fertiliser for crop production and a means of transport. Consumption of livestock and livestock products in developing countries, though starting from a low base, is growing rapidly.
