64 LIVESTOCK SERVICES AND THE POOR
CHAPTER 3 POVERTY FOCUS OF LIVESTOCK SERVICES It is a formidable challenge for most providers to deliver livestock services that meet the requirements of poor livestock keepers. Providers are accustomed to focusing on raising production, rather than on enhancing equity. This chapter assesses the poverty focus of various livestock services and identifies how they can be improved. It presents services that are beyond the technical bias of many current services in terms of their ability to address the broader constraints attached to poverty, which are outlined in Chapter 1. The Strategic Framework for IFAD 2002-2006, Enabling the Rural Poor to Overcome Their Poverty, is used as the organizing framework for the services because it is appropriate to place livestock service delivery in this wider context (IFAD, 2002a). Figure 3.1 shows the IFAD framework and strategic objectives. Livestock services are presented in this chapter according to three strategic objectives: to strengthen the capacity of the rural poor and their organizations; to render the access to productive natural resources and technology more equitable; and to increase the access to financial services and markets. 65
