The case studies listed below are referred to in the 3rd edition of the LEGS Handbook, which was released 27 June 2023. Some case studies cover the process – how the interventions were carried out – while others describe their impact – the effect on the livelihoods of livestock keepers.
All case studies are also available in Arabic, French and Spanish.
Case studies will be added to this page. If you have a case study to share, please download and fill out this Case Study Template, and email it to the LEGS Coordinator.
