INTRODUCTION
Much of Vetwork's experience is in Community Based Animal
Health Projects, often involving the training of community animal health workers,
aspects of ethno-veterinary knowledge, participatory methodologies, and other
issues related to the health, welfare, husbandry of animals and their place
in society.
This page lists all the reports and articles on the Vetwork website, some related reports on
the CAPE webiste, and links to some other key web resources (see also the
links page).
Currently, for some frustrating and inexplicable reason, the hyper-links
on the report titles are refusing to work, so to get to the summaries and links to full documents
(where available), go to the relevant page (CAHW pages 2-7) via the list at the top, or the
links on the section headings.
If anyone can suggest ways to make the links work, please contact me.
