Learning from livestock marketing practices in Kenya

A “Learning Route” on Innovative Livestock Marketing from Northern to Eastern Africa was organised by PROCASUR (a Latin American NGO that focuses on South-South learning) in partnership with IFAD from 27 February to 9 March 2012. Participants from various IFAD-supported projects and partners from different countries gathered for an intense journey across various districts and communities in Kenya seeking best practices in livestock marketing. Some of the experiences and insights gained during the journey have been captured in blogs, for example:

• M-PESA: the power of mobile technology in livestock marketing
• The power of camel milk: the story of the Anolei Camel Milk Cooperative 
• Bridging the gap: connecting Maasai pastoralist communities to livestock markets
