Summary
Effective small stock research and development activities and funding are constrained by a lack of
indicators and field methods for ex ante, on going and ex post assessment of the roles of small stock in
livelihoods of the poor. Using largely existing data, the project will first develop models exploring the
multiple and dynamic roles of small stock in the livelihoods of poor people. It will then work with
ongoing projects in Mexico, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador to develop, test and disseminate simpler
indicators and participatory field methods to assist researchers, field workers and peasant farmers in
analysing the contribution of changes in small stock keeping to the livelihoods of the poor.
