Livestock research for poverty reduction

• Securing assets of the poor to reduce
  vulnerability
• Increasing productivity to improve livelihoods
• Market opportunities to increase incomes of the
  poor as producers, employees, market agents

Regional implementation of global programs

• ILRI focuses its research in 4 global research
  themes
• Interest in global lessons genetic resources,
  market opportunities, emerging diseases.
• But in regions
• Different emphasis of development challenges
• Different partnership arrangements (regional and
  national), approaches to research, roles for ILRI
