| Summary: | This report provides recommendations on
how to better manage ongoing changes in livestock
development. First, it presents an overview of the main
trends that can be expected to drive the sector over the
next decades. Second it discusses the negative or positive
social, environmental, and health repercussions of those
trends, and the institutional, policy, and technical
requirements needed to manage them. It concludes with a
section on the current World Bank portfolio in the livestock
sector and provides an action plan for the future. The
report generally describes good practices where available
and identifies strategy implications of past experience.
Finally, this report summarizes the current thinking of the
Animal Resources Team on the type of activities that the
Bank should support. It is a direct input into the review of
the Bank's rural strategy. |
