Abstract:

Livestock such as sheep and goats are the most important species of livestock reared and marketed in Somaliland and they are the major source of livehood in Somaliland. It is for this reason that the government in partnership with the private sector and development partners has been working to enhance access to livestock export markets by the Somali livestock producers and other marketing intermediaries through improved access to marketing support services. This study dwells into that further.
