Poverty – What is it?
• Absolute measured or Income Threshold
- <1.25 USD (Food & Nutrition Security)
• Deprivation of access - Poverty and
Social Exclusion (PSE).
• Consensual – Public opinion – minimum
acceptable standards
• The Minimum Budget Standards –
costing basket of essential goods.
• Limitations in Capabilities, rights and
wellbeing.
• Attitude & Mind set

5. Slide 4
Why pro-poor livestock?
• Livelihood of ~1 Billion in Africa & Asia – 60% women
• Agriculture provides ~30% GDP & Livestock 10 - 40% of it.
• Food Security – Increasing demand.
- Beef value chain supports 70m persons – Africa
- Dairy value chain supports 124m – Asia & 24m - EA
- Small ruminants ~100m Income and investment
- Up to 33% contribution to HH Income.

Milk income ~80% 10-15%
Infrastructure 70-90% ~10%
System Mostly intensive Predominantly extensive
Feeds Grown pasture, high supplement Wild pasture, little

11. What is Global Access?
We define Global Access (GA) as a principle applied through the value
chain, from technology research to product use, which ensures sustainable
access to animal health products and solutions needed by those for whom
livestock is a lifeline, ultimately improving livelihoods.
