Best Practices in Promoting Livestock Among the Poor

This session will share learnings gained from collaborating with church partners for over 30 years, promoting integrated livestock projects across Africa. It will address some causes of success, frequent mistakes, and ways to create sustainability including exit strategies. Erwin Kinsey, ECHO East Africa Director, holds a BSc in Animal Science from the University of Vermont and MSc in Rural Development from the University of London School of Oriental and African Studies. He worked for 30-years with Heifer International in Tanzania assisting over 30,000 families with livestock and training, and pioneering in-kind credit whereby female livestock offspring and training were passed on to neighboring project farmers. For five years he directed the diversification of Global Service Corps Tanzania’s food security interventions and since 2012 has worked with ECHO to foster wider sharing of sustainable agriculture and food security innovations across the region.
