LPP’s Ilse Koehler-Rollefson attended the 15th annual meeting of the Inter-agency Livestock Donor Group hosted by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation where she made the case for donor investment in camel dairying. She also suggested to precede all Public Private Partnerships involving livestock keeping communities with the development of Biocultural Protocols, a tool that has been developed in the context of implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity, but would be useful in mainstream sector interventions as well to ensure that these meet the needs and desires of the “target groups”.
