LED
In 1982 the International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA) established a Livestock Policy Unit (LPU). Later it was given additional functions and changed its title to Livestock Economics Division (LED).
The objectives of the LED are:
1. To heighten the awareness in African governments and in other organisations of the importance of livestock policy issues.2. To collate in an easily assimilable form what is already known about policy issues and to present it to policy makers.
3. To carry out research of its own (including that commissioned from consultants) on priority livestock policy issues and to present the results to policy makers.
4. To encourage others to carry out similar research and to assist in presenting their results to policy makers.
LED Working Documents
Staff members and consultants of the LED write working papers at several stages during their research on a topic. Publication of the final results of research may not occur until several years after the research started. The LED, therefore, makes its working documents available to anyone requesting them in order to provide access to data and ideas on African livestock policy issues as early as possible to those with a need for them.
This is an LED working document. It has not been prepared in accordance with procedures appropriate to formal printed texts, and ILCA accepts no responsibility for errors. Both data and ideas are subject to revision. The views and interpretations in this document are those of the author and should not be attributed to ILCA. ILCA however retains copyright and reserves all other rights.
A list of all LED working documents is given on the back page of this document, together with the address from which they may be ordered. Numbers 1-10 appear, under the ILCA/LPU working paper series, which has now been renamed as the LED working documents series.
This electronic document has been scanned using optical character recognition (OCR) software and careful manual recorrection. Even if the quality of digitalisation is high, the FAO declines all responsibility for any discrepancies that may exist between the present document and its original printed version.
