Proceedings of Voices of Poor Livestock Keepers.
Abstract
The concept of a poor livestock keeper turns out to be quite ambiguous. In the 6
workshops we held in East Africa it was most often defined as a farmer who is a poor
keeper of livestock, or sometimes as a farmer who keeps poor livestock, or somewhat
rarely as a poor person who keeps livestock. A definition offered by a participant
after a long debate in Shinyanga, Tanzania, might be generally accepted – that is,
someone who
“Cannot derive any benefit from the livestock kept.”
Or
“a poor livestock keeper is one who cannot derive any benefit, which can
offset his responsibilities/to lift you above poverty line to have basic
essentials from livestock kept.” As given by a workshop participant in the
sharing of the Voices of the poor report in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
