Supply and Demand for Livestock Data in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from a Stakeholder Survey

Abstract

The results of the livestock data survey conducted by the Livestock Data Innovation Project are not necessarily representative of all stakeholders' data concerns, as they are based on a small and non-random sample. However, they support the idea that, whilst livestock data / indicators are essential for the largest majority of stakeholders, rarely are the available data / indicators sufficient for the purposes of investment, development and research.
