At the end of March 2012, the ILRI Board of Trustees reviewed and discussed the annotated outline of a new strategy document to cover the years 2013-2022.
The document introduces ILRI ‘today’. It sets out critical livestock sector development challenges for ILRI and the principles guiding our approach.
It then turns to the research agenda, outlining areas of research focus (such as: biosciences for animal health, genetics, feeding; Market based livestock development; Systems research spanning mixed crop livestock and pastoral systems, modeling and assessment of trade offs; Livestock-environment; Livestock – human health and nutrition; and Livestock productivity) as well as the pathways ILRI could use to generate outputs, outcomes and development impacts (such as: attention to gender; Innovation research; Partnerships; Capacity development; and Communication and knowledge management).
