Abstract

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鈥檚 livestock-dependent poor. It does this through first, revisiting the pro-poor livestock development paradigm, focusing on 3 core areas - livelihoods, gender and pro-poor policy. Second, via the lens of 鈥榖ackcasting鈥� exploring the component parts of a sustainable future for Africa鈥檚 poor livestock keepers and the identifying the transitional pathways connecting this future to the present.
