South Asia Regional Workshop on Livestock and Development in a Changing Context - proceedings are now available

CALPI (Capitalisation of Livestock Programme Experiences India, created by SDC-IC) and ILRI (the International Livestock Research Institute) jointly organized a knowledge-sharing workshop in the South Asia context on the theme “livestock and development in a changing context”.

The workshop was attended by about 35 representatives from national and provincial governments, academic institutions, non-government and private sector organisations from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Madagascar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Switzerland and India.

The workshop objectives were:

(1) To understand the knowledge and information needs of key stakeholders working in the ‘livestock-livelihoods-environment’ domain in South Asia

(2) To exchange relevant and new experiences and learning in the above domain among the key stakeholders in the region.

(3) To identify suitable mechanisms and the modalities to take the ‘knowledge exchange’ process forward.

The workshop resulted in the setting up of a Working Group to refine the knowledge exchange (method and content), prioritize and detail a plan of action for knowledge exchange in South Asia and including other interested countries.
