Livestock and rangelands

Over the years, IFAD has developed considerable institutional skills in executing community-based projects which have a positive impact on IFAD's target group, the rural poor. Livestock and rangeland systems are essential to the livelihoods of the rural poor.

This Knowledgebase is a product of IFAD's Thematic Group on Community-Based Management of Natural Resources. It is based on case studies of a range of IFAD projects that support livestock production among pastoralists, agro-pastoralists and smallholders.
