1. RESEARCH
PROGRAM ON
Livestock and Fish
led by ILRI
together with WorldFish, CIAT, and ICARDA
The program aims to increase the productivity of small-scale
livestock and fish systems in sustainable ways, making meat,
milk and fish more available and affordable across the
developing world.
The program’s approach is characterized by: a whole value
chain approach; focus on selected livestock and fish systems
that can be transformed; partnering for impact at scale and
research and technology development designed to have
sustainable impact.
It focuses on eight selected value chains: dairy in Tanzania and
India; small ruminants in Mali and Ethiopia; pigs in Vietnam
and Uganda; dual purpose cattle in Nicaragua and aquaculture
in Egypt. Research themes cover animal feeds, breeding and
genetics, health, value chain development, gender and
learning, and targeting sustainable interventions.
RESEARCH
PROGRAM ON
Dryland Systems
led by ICARDA
ILRI conducts research on mitigating
vulnerability (related to payments for ecosystem
services, and options for livestock insurance
among others); sustainable intensification of
crop–livestock systems including trade-offs and
system analyses and work on innovation systems
and livestock–gender interactions.
RESEARCH
PROGRAM ON
Policies,
Institutions
and Markets
led by IFPRI
ILRI conducts research to bring about changes in
organizational behaviour, markets performance and policy for
more effective value chains. This process features the
development and use of tools for ex ante and ex post
analysing of changes such as technology adoption, improved
transactions and product makeup within value chains. The
analysis evaluates aspects such as gender impacts and
distribution of benefits of change among producers,
consumers and other actors. ILRI's use of these tools and new
modelling techniques has raised the profile of livestock within
the CRP portfolio.
led by IFPRI
ILRI leads a theme of this research program on the
prevention and control of agriculture associated
diseases, which includes food
borne diseases, zoonoses and emerging infectious
diseases.
RESEARCH
PROGRAM ON
Water, Land and
Ecosystems
led by IWMI
ILRI research in this program focuses largely on
livestock water interactions in relation to crop–livestock
systems in the Nile and Volta basins. Research on
payments for ecosystem services and other aspects of
dryland pastoral systems may also be addressed.
led by CIAT
ILRI’s research includes systems analyses, macro and
household level modelling; climate change adaptation
and mitigation strategies in livestock systems.
RESEARCH
PROGRAM ON
Integrated Systems
for the Humid
Tropics
led by IITA
ILRI conducts research on sustainable
intensification in crop–livestock systems, including
trade off and systems analyses; livestock environment
research using innovation approaches and integrating
livestock–gender interactions.
