Overview

Between 2007 and 2020 ACIAR funded a series of projects in Laos and Cambodia focusing on the management of livestock disease in villages. The goal was to improve smallholder livelihoods by reducing livestock mortality and morbidity through capacity building and better policy and practice. 

This evaluation reviews the short-term and medium-term project outcomes, which were improved biosecurity, animal health and animal reproduction, and the extent to which the ACIAR projects contributed to these outcomes.
