The report reviews the structure and dynamics of livestock systems, including cattle feeding, watering, pasture production, and access to extension and veterinary services. It examines drivers of livestock productivity and adoption of climate-smart land and livestock practices under climate shocks, supported by climate modeling, empirical approaches, and evidence summarized in tables and figures.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nEASTERN AND  \n SOUTHERN AFRICA  \nUGANDA  \n Agriculture Background Note:  \n Improving Livestock Productivity and Resilience  \nWorld Bank Group  \nMay 2025  \n© 2025 The World Bank Group  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington, DC 20433  \nTelephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), collectively known as The World Bank, with external contributors.  \nThe World Bank Group does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the content included in this work, or the conclusions or judgments described herein, and accepts no responsibility or liability for any omissions or errors (including, without limitation, typographical errors and technical errors) in the content whatsoever or for reliance thereon.
