Major changes have occurred in the livestock sector in Zimbabwe in the last few years. There have been significant shifts in ownership, use and management of livestock, with implications for disease management, marketing and production.
This workshop discussed a report which offers an assessment of these changes in one province – Masvingo – based on a series of local level case studies. The report asks, given the changes that have occurred, what makes sense in terms of practical and policy support to allow the livestock sector in Masvingo province and beyond to contribute to rural livelihoods and the national economy.
