dc.description.abstractThis book explains why and how cattle have evolved in Africa over centuries and the role they play today. The African cattle breeds that exist today comprise a critical long-term asset. They also provide short-term income and the daily food and nutrition for some 800 million livestock keepers across Africa. The diversity of African cattle ranges from breeds adapted to the edges of the Sahara Desert in North Africa, to those able to survive in wet tropical lowlands, to breeds that thrive in the vast savannahs of southern Africa. Where you find people, you find cattle.en

  • Livestock Development [89]
    This collection provides information on work that is being rendered towards the implementation of the Livestock Development Strategy for Africa (LIDeSA) - A 20 years (2015-2035) strategy geared towards addressing Africa’s development needs and challenges. The strategy is aligned to the ongoing regional strategies, policy frameworks and guidelines; and is coherent with the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), Frameworks and Agenda at the Continental, Regional Economic Community (REC) and Member States (MS) levels. The LiDeSA embraces “business unusual” approaches and focuses on encouraging increased investments from both public and private sources for the transformation of the sector to enhance its contribution to socio-economic development and equitable growth.
