Proceedings of the Workshop in Bangladesh on ‘Implementation of the National Livestock Development Policy (2007) and National Poultry Development Policy (2008) – Impact on Smallholder Livestock Rearers’ (2011)

The workshop was designed with the objective of assessing the implementation of the two policies, and in particular the impact of policy implementation on the livelihoods of smallholder livestock rearers. The identification of issues for modification and / or inclusion in the two policy documents was a key expected outcome of the workshop.
