The note outlines the successful
outcomes of the Livestock Adjustment and Investment Project
in Madagascar, whose main objective was to promote livestock
production for domestic consumption, and exports. A major
project impact, i.e., the Ministry of Livestock's shift
out of veterinary practice, - feed mill operation, fodder
production, input supply, and breed improvement - was
conducive to service contracts, and the establishment of a
private veterinary profession, which significantly improved
performance, as confirmed by subsequent reviews. Moreover,
extension programs were successfully developed in support of
farmers' associations, improved crop varieties were
adopted, and significant progress was made with genetic
improvement, and research and development. Lessons reinforce
the importance of government commitment towards divestiture,
particularly concerning privatization, emphasizing that the
absence of commitment to policy adjustment, should deter
project implementation. More importantly, policy reforms
should complement institutional development and investments,
where good roads and credit access are particularly
important for rural, and private development, while
investments in these areas may be sub-optimal in Bank lending. |
