ALIVE
ALive is a
regional partnership based on a multi-stakeholders Platform to reposition the African livestock sector into the development agendas of the national, regional and international policy makers, by emphasizing its crucial impacts in terms of
poverty alleviation and
sustainable economic growth and its overall contribution to achieving the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
This platform results from strong demands from the African countries, draws lessons from recent experiences ("livestock evolution") and takes into consideration rational livestock development perspectives (“livestock Revolution”).
Initiated by the World Bank (2002), it has rapidly become autonomous by gaining support and approval from the main key actors of the sector. ALive is nowadays a voluntary, shared and renowned initiative.
