Scaling-Up Successful Practices on Sustainable Pro-Poor Small Ruminant Development
We are happy to announce the publication of the completed report, Scaling-Up Successful Practices on Sustainable Pro-Poor Small Ruminant Development, implemented by experts from the International Goat Association between 2011 and 2013.
The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) requested IGA to undertake this study in order to sensitize policy- and decision-makers about the impact of small ruminants in development, using rigorous case studies and economic analysis.
You can download the PDFs here, as a single large document or in 5 smaller parts for easier downloading. The last two documents (The Goat Value Chain Toolkit, and Scaling Up Goat Based Interventions to Benefit the Poor) were written for this project, but were intended to be used in the field, for research, and to explain the importance of goat investments to decision-makers.
This study was made possible owing to the financial support from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Policy and Technical Advisory Division, and through the logistic and scientific support of the International Goat Association (IGA).
We are particularly and personally grateful to all those who participated in the studies for this project or edited the final document:
