Mongolia, Study of Extensive Livestock Production Systems, Mongolia (ADB): January 1996–January 1997
Project Description
Agriteam assisted the Government of Mongolia in formulating policies and strategies for sustainable management of the extensive livestock sector. We prepared an action plan for the sector addressing promotion of competitive markets, livestock production and risk management, pasture land productivity and co-management, and institutional strengthening. We facilitated extensive stakeholder consultations using PRA, poverty assessments, and primary field research, including herding household surveys, and a series of six participatory workshops involving more than 250 stakeholders. Findings were used in policy formulation working groups. Through an iterative and participatory process, the Action Plan for the Extensive Livestock Sector was developed. Project leader Ms. Rasmussen was specifically commended by the ADB for her success in involving a wide range of stakeholders in developing the action plan, which drew tremendous support from government and herders.
