Focal Point people have been identified by the LEGS Steering Group for each of the technical areas.

The role of the Focal Points is to co-ordinate the production of the material on each technical area, drawing on literature and experience, and presenting the information and options from a livelihoods perspective.

Each chapter covers the implications of selecting a particular technical option or activity; cross-cutting issues such as environment, gender, HIV/AIDS, and security; indicators and issues for impact assessment; links with the Sphere Standards; case studies; and sources of further information, including existing guidelines, technical briefs and toolkits.

The Focal Points are as follows:

• Commercial Offtake/Destocking: Yakob Aklilu
• Supplementary Feed and Water: Peter Thorne
• Animal Health: David Ward
• Shelter: David Hadrill
• Restocking: Helene Berton
• Needs Assessment and Identifying Responses: Cathy Watson
• Standards Common to All Livestock Interventions: Andy Catley
