Promoting long term investment in livestock in Kenya
Under Phase II of the Arid Lands Resource Management Project, strategic investments will be undertaken in the establishment of disease-free zones to facilitate export and movement of animals to finishing ranches, the provision of funding for feasibility studies to attract private investment (particularly in meat processing), the drafting of guidelines for emergency livestock off take, the comparative study of drug delivery systems in the arid lands with a view to highlighting best practice, and the strengthening of technical service providers to deliver improved backstopping and advisory services to pastoralists. Other investments, in particular in the establishment or rehabilitation of marketing infrastructure, and the training of animal health care providers, may be selected for funding by the DSGs under the District Services Allocation.
