Status, distribution and determinants of poverty in the COMESA region: A review of existing knowledge por Kabubo-Mariara, J., Massawe, Stella C., Karugia, Joseph T., Kirui, Oliver K., Wanjiku, Juliet

“…The review suggests that household level determinants of poverty in the region include, but are not limited to: household characteristics—family composition, size and structure, age and marital status of head, gender of the head, education and other human capital capabilities; access to basic services such as social amenities, water and sanitation, credit and infrastructure; employment, occupation and incomes; asset ownership; access to remittances; burden of disease; variations in agricultural production; and declining food stocks and high food prices. Community/regional/country level determinants include: geography and related factors such as market access, agro-ecological zones, climate and ethnicity; the environment; population density; area of residence (rural vs. urban); income, growth and inequality; conflict, insecurity and political instability; and governance and corruption. …”

Lifetime productivity of dairy cows in smallholder farming systems of the Central highlands of Kenya por Rufino, Mariana C., Herrero, Mario, Wijk, Mark T. van, Hemerink, L., Ridder, N.A. de, Giller, Kenneth E.

“…Milk production may be increased on average by 1400 kg per lactation by supplementing the diet with 5 kg of concentrates during early lactation and 1 kg during late lactation, although the optimal supplementation may change according to milk and concentrate prices. Reducing involuntary culling must be included as a key goal when designing interventions to improve productivity and sustainability of smallholder dairy systems, because increasing lifetime productivity may have a larger impact on smallholders’ income than interventions targeted to only improving daily milk yields through feeding strategies.…”
