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.Text46 p. : ill.enLIVESTOCKANIMAL HUSBANDRYURBAN AGRICULTUREHEALTH HAZARDSECOSYSTEMSANIMAL NUTRITIONNIGERIAANIMAL WASTESPOLLUTION CONTROLFARMING SYSTEMSWATER POLLUTIONAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHCAPACITY BUILDINGURBAN POVERTYSOUTH OF SAHARAWorking Paper
