CONCLUSIONS Livestock management practices is a major challenge but can only chan • ge if Farmers are empowered to manage risk and • opportunity Farmers have the incentives to invest in • better practices. This needs a holistic approach for which CBT can • be a major catalyst KAZA can be a powerful platform for partner • countries to collaborate around innovative and integrated, ‘out of the box’ interventions BUT won’t happen just by talking about it… ID common areas of importance and interest and partner in interventions to test alternatives – there is significant momentum for support from multiple stakeholders at present Cross-border access of slaughter facilities so as to have a KAZA approach to • facilitating trade through direct slaughter in order to enable feasible facilities that support local economies Jacques van Rooyen 18
