    ICARDA witnessed several important developments in 2006. Of these, the Fifth External Program and Management Review (EPMR) was the most significant, as it provided a comprehensive assessment of the Center's global activities, as well as new insights and dimensions that helped refine ICARDA's new Strategic Plan for 2007- 2016. The EPMR coincided with a transition in the governance and leadership of ICARDA.

    Livestock systems in developing countries are characterised by rapid change, driven by factors such as population growth, increases in the demand for livestock products as incomes rise, and urbanisation. Climate change is adding to the considerable development challenges posed by these drivers of change. How can livestock keepers take advantage of the increasing demand for livestock products, where this is feasible, and how can the livestock assets of the poor be protected in the face of changing and increasingly variable climates?

    People’s perceptions of their environment

    in high mountain rangelands ultimately

    affect the fragile ecosystems on which

    they depend, and thus their welfare. This is

    especially true in developing countries,

    Soil microbial biomass is considered as an important early indicator of changes that may occur
    in the long term with regard to soil fertility and constitutes an important source and sink of nutrients. In
    South Africa, rangeland monitoring has mostly focused on assessing changes of aboveground vegetation
    in response to land uses effects, but the associated changes at belowground soil level remain a topic of
    further research. The aim of this study was to explore soil microbial biomass at three sites under

    Livestock play an important role for poor rural households in regions such as the Peruvian Andes. Research methods leading to a better understanding of the role of livestock in household poverty dynamics, and what better targeted policies and interventions may enhance that role, however, are not readily available. We utilized multiple methods, including Stages-of-Progress and household surveys, which gave us a combination of qualitative and quantitative results.
