Why Livestock Matter

Stories of change

As part of a wider effort to bring together evidence showing why increased and improved investments in sustainable livestock development are necessary, we want to enrich the formal evidence base by including experience and lessons from practice.

You can contribute to this effort by sharing examples from your work that show how livestock interventions, initiatives and investments make a positive difference to the lives and livelihoods of women and men in developing countries.

Complete this survey to share your short ‘stories of change’ that show how livestock sustainably benefit people’s welfare, livelihoods, income, health, nutrition or their environment.

Please submit your story BEFORE 14 APRIL 2019.

Please be as concrete as possible in describing your story of change. If you have more than one significant change you want to share, please submit more than one story.

We will review all submissions and contact you directly about extending them for wider publication.
