The following reports and working papers are available in relation to this project: Literature Review (April 2016): Timely and accurate data is critically important for the development of food security programs, agricultural development, poverty reduction policies, investment strategies and natural disaster responses. (Drafted By: Jonathan Moss, Philip Morley, Derek Baker, Hussain Al-Moadhen, Rebecca Downie, and University of New England) Gap Analysis Report (November 2016): This Gap Analysis Report seeks methods for improving the quality of livestock data across a range of species and focuses on production-level livestock, specifically on the measurement of production and productivity at household level. Test Stage (November 2016): The test phase of the project Improving Methods for Estimating Livestock Production and Productivity is based on the literature review and gap analysis and was carried out in three countries (Botswana, Tanzania and Indonesia). (Drafted By: Michael Coleman, Phil Morley, Derek Baker and Jonathan Moss) Methodological Report (May 2017): This Technical Report proposes methods for the collection of data to compile improved measures of selected indicators, based on analyses of existing methods and field-testing of alternatives.
