  1. Introducing ILRI Standard slides 26 September 2012 Nairobi Kenya

  2. 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. 

  3. ILRI’s Value Proposition • “ILRI is creating and integrating knowledge to enable diverse partners to find innovative solutions to make livestock a sustainable pathway out of poverty”

  4. 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.

  5. ILRI’s Resources • 2012 annual budget of USD60 million • Total staff: 700 • Research groups representing more than 30 scientific disciplines. • 100 scientists and researchers coming from 39 countries. • 56% of internationally recruited staff originate from 22 developing countries. • 34% of internationally recruited staff are women. • Two large campuses are located in Nairobi, Kenya, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. • 70% of ILRI’s research activities are in sub-Saharan Africa.
