Abstract
Presents the findings of a training project in Nepal which teaches basic animal health care techniques to Nepalese villagers. Ten years later an evaluation was conducted to determine whether there was a continuing need for the courses and to assess their effectiveness. This book describes the course structure, content and approach, and presents the finding of the evaluation, offering an insight into a programme which could usefully be replicated in other rural areas all over the world.
