Abstract
Improved information about the risks associated with urban livestock activities, and possible measures to mitigate those risks is needed to raise awareness and promote appropriate municipal policies, ultimately protecting and enhancing livestock-based livelihood strategies of the urban poor. The purpose of this project is to generate the needed information and develop appropriate technological and policy options by engaging directly with relevant stakeholders. Due to a turn-over in staff, there was a major lapse in project leadership, with increasing delays in implementing activities. Lack of appropriate technical support also contributed issues and delays in project activities and objectives.
