Stimulating market led livestock production through information communication technologies: experiences from pastoral areas of eastern Africa
A reliable livestock market information system is a key element in supporting decision‐making of traders, middlemen and policy makers and contributes to the development of the livestock sub‐sector.It enhances the capacity of producers and traders to anticipate and plan for their livestock business transactions.Policymakers will make use of the information as an integral component of their planning processes as countries strive to improve the capacity of the livestock sub‐ sector to contribute to enhanced livelihoods and improved economic conditions.The objectives of the Livestock Information Network and Knowledge System ( LINKS) are to report livestock price and volume data consistently and in time, avail information through various media to stakeholders in livestock marketing, establish a livestock marketing database for reference in planning, research and monitoring of marketing trends, and to provide early warning information for disaster preparedness.
