About this Publication:
This abstract is based on a full-length paper written by Claire Heffernan in 2012. This paper sets out to see how the lessons and knowledge of the past can inform both the transition towards and options for, a more secure and sustainable future for the continent’s livestock-dependent poor. It does this through first, revisiting the pro-poor livestock development paradigm, focusing on three core areas - livelihoods, gender and pro-poor policy. Second, via the lens of ‘backcasting’ exploring the component parts of a sustainable future for Africa’s poor livestock keepers and the identifying the transitional pathways connecting this future to the present.
