26 – 27 March 2019
Nairobi, Kenya

2. Cluster 1: Policies, foresight and systems analysis
Improved livestock systems modelling tools and datasets;
Empirical estimates of the levels and structure of supply and
demand for animal-source foods; Impact assessment of various
scenarios; Guidance on livestock policy and investment
priorities and strategies ; Evidence to inform policies to
enhance livestock contribution to livelihoods
Cluster 2: Gender and Social Equity
Gender-responsive institutional and technical innovations;
Gender-transformative approaches developed and their
effectiveness assessed; Gender-sensitive indicators and
methodologies developed for assessing progress on gender
strategic change
Cluster 3: Food and nutrition security through Livestock
Characterization of diets and related decision making and novel
evidence on the role of animal-source foods in enhancing
nutrition produced; Impact pathways from production of, and
access to, animal-source foods, to improved nutrition;
Innovative evidence-based options on cost-effective nutrition-
sensitive interventions
Cluster 4: Integrated technologies, practices and institutions
for improved livestock systems
Best bet technologies and management strategies to enhance
resilience and resilience; Inclusive and scalable institutional
arrangements for enhanced VC performance; Ex-ante and ex-
post impact assessment of technologies, practices and
institutional arrangements
National and international research partners and
policymakers use analyses of livestock-sector dynamics,
investment and ex-ante impact assessments to guide priority
setting, investment and policy development for the livestock
sector in priority countries
Gender equitable
control of assets and
resources
Improved capacity of
women and youth to
participate in decision-
making
Increased access to
diverse nutrient rich
foods
Increased livelihood
opportunities
Conducive Policy
Environment
Policy- or decision-makers in priority countries
use the evidence on the benefits of including
gender equity considerations
National and international development
partners, government agencies and the private
sector invest in and use the most successful
approaches to enhancing livestock-mediated
nutritional impact, including institutional
arrangements and behavioral approaches, in
priority countries
Livestock communities across priority
countries apply tested technologies,
management strategies and institutional
arrangements, taking the multiple functions
of livestock into account
Development partners, private sector and
government agencies across priority countries
apply innovative institutional arrangements to
enhance competitiveness and inclusiveness

4. Policies, foresight and systems analysis
• Supporting implementation, adjustments and monitoring of
the Livestock master plan: Ethiopia and Tanzania
• Follow up on country’ willingness to implement a Livestock
master plan: Uganda
• Supporting site selection, focusing on beef system in Vietnam
• Ex ante system dynamic model, dairy Tanzania, linked to
ADGG, to assess impacts of packages of technologies & other
innovations, including trade-offs

5. • Covered in the Gender cross cutting presentation
Gender and social equity

6. • Assessment of seasonality in food and nutrition security
as well as accuracy of recall indicators
(RhomisNutrition): Uganda and Vietnam
Food and nutrition security through livestock

7. • Implementation of the protocol on testing and
evaluating innovations, for cross country, cross
innovations comparison/ synthesis- all countries
– Design allowing for rigourous comparison
– Process and impact indicators
Integrated technologies, practices and institutions
