The Agriculture Non state Actors (ANSAF) in collaboration with Trust Africa held an advocacy convening in Dodoma on February 20 and 21, 2017.

·         Greater recognition of the substantial contribution of livestock to the national economy translated in to increased government and private sector support and funding for the sector.

·         Increased participation by non state actors in the identification and formulation of small scale keeper and pastoralists friendly livestock policies

·         Participation of women and youths in livestock value chains

·         Ensuring responsible investments by private sector providing inclusive development opportunities to small scale livestock keepers and pastoralists
