Proceedings of the Workshop in Bangladesh on ‘Implementation of the National Livestock Development Policy (2007) and National Poultry Development Policy (2008) – Impact on Small-holder Livestock Rearers’
The South Asia Pro Poor Livestock Policy Programme (SA PPLPP) and BRAC, Bangladesh, jointly convened a workshop on ‘Implementation of the National Livestock Development Policy (2007) and National Poultry Development Policy (2008) – Impact on Small-holder Livestock Rearers’, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on 5th April 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 small-holder livestock rearers. The identification of issues for modification and / or inclusion in the two policy documents was a key expected outcome of the workshop. Workshop deliberations and recommendations will form the basis for policy dialogue processes towards a more central role for small-holders in livestock development. Policy dialogue will be led by BRAC, in the capacity of SA PPLPP programme partner in Bangladesh, in collaboration with other stakeholders.
Participants at the day-long workshop included representatives from the Department of Livestock Services (including District and Upazila Livestock Officers), Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI), staff from Agricultural Universities, NGOs (such as the Bangladesh Association for Social Advancement (BASA) and Helen Keller International), representatives of the World Poultry Science Association – Bangladesh Branch (WPSA-BB), feed mills and the national poultry association, as also media representatives.
