ILRI Mission and Strategy
• ILRI envisions... A world made better for poor people in developing countries by improving agricultural systems in which livestock are important.
• ILRI’s mission is... To work at the crossroads of livestock and poverty,
bringing high-quality science and capacity-building to bear on poverty reduction and sustainable development for poor livestock keepers and their communities.
• ILRI works in partnerships and alliances with other organizations, national and international, in livestock research, training and information. ILRI works in all tropical developing regions of Africa and Asia.
• ILRI is a member of the CGIAR Consortium that conducts food and environmental research to help alleviate poverty and increase food security while protecting the natural resource base.
“ILRI is creating and integrating knowledge to enable diverse partners to find innovative solutions to make livestock a sustainable pathway out of poverty”
ILRI’s Value Proposition
ILRI’s Programmatic Focus
Biotechnology Theme •Improves animal health through diagnostic tests and novel
vaccines. •Identifies livestock genes controlling useful traits.•Develops genetic markers for delivering genes and breeds to
farmers.
Markets, Gender and Livelihoods Theme•Provides options for smallholders to remain competitive and access livestock markets to meet consumer needs.•Examines processes by which ILRI's research outputs lead to development outcomes that benefit the poor.•Hosts a regional information and knowledge management program that supports agricultural development in Africa.•Mainstreams gender in ILRI research to promote gender equality and equity in programs and projects.
People, Livestock and the Environment Theme •Develops climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies.•Develops efficient livestock feeding systems that both increase productivity and reduce greenhouse gases. •Enhances pastoral livelihoods and resilience.•Manages a genebank conserving native African forages.
Biosciences eastern and central Africa (BecA)•Provides a common regional biosciences research platform, research-related services and capacity building and training opportunities.•Employs network of regional nodes and laboratories in eastern and central Africa.
