Proceedings of the Learning Event 2: "CPR - Livestock"
Doc 017 - Proceedings of the Learning Event 2: "Common Property Resources - Livestock", 15th - 17th July 2008
The theme of the Learning Event 2 was Livestock, Poverty and Common Property Resources1 (CPRs). Poor livestock keepers significantly depend on access to common property resources for their livelihoods but CPRs are declining both in extent and quality, thereby increasingly constraining the livelihood opportunities of the rural poor.
The Learning Event aimed at analysing and drawing lessons out of twenty-four Good Practice (GP) Notes, which the over thirty participants to the Learning Event had prepared. Each GP Note presents a concrete case where CPRs are efficiently and equitably managed for the benefit of the livestock-dependent poor.
The proceedings detail, the number of interesting elements that came out during the analysis exercise, a well as during the panel discussion with the resource persons which followed a first round of GP presentations. Abstracts of Livestock-CPRs Good Practices are also appended along with list of participants and agenda of the Learning Event.
