Vision, mission and strategy
ILRI's strategy 2013-2022 was approved in December 2012. It emerged from a wide processof consultation and engagement.
ILRI envisions... a world where all people have access to enough food and livelihood options to fulfil their potential.
ILRI’s mission is... to improve food and nutritional security and to reduce poverty in developing countries through research for efficient, safe and sustainable use of livestock—ensuring better lives through livestock.
ILRI’s three strategic objectives are:
- with partners, to develop, test, adapt and promote science-based practices that—being sustainable and scalable—achieve better lives through livestock.
- with partners,to provide compelling scientific evidence in ways that persuade decision-makers—from farms to boardrooms and parliaments—that smarter policies and bigger livestock investments can deliver significant socio-economic, health and environmental dividends to both poor nations and households.
- with partners,to increase capacity among ILRI’s key stakeholders to make better use of livestock science and investments for better lives through livestock.
This is ILRI’s second ten-year strategy. It incorporates a number of changes, many based on learning from the previous strategy (2000–2010, initially produced in 2000 and modified in 2002), an interim strategy (2011–2012) and an assessment of the external and internal environments in which the institute operates.

What’s the future for Africa’s livestock herders as our climate changes, becomes less predictable, heats up? How can scientific research help remote pastoral communities? Among the poorest of the world’s poor, herders supply milk and meat not only for themselves but for large numbers of other poor people. Although their animals produce few of the greenhouse gasses harming the earth, these people will be among those most hurt by the climate changes we expect. Population growth and land degradation are already causing problems over much of the continent’s traditional rangelands.
Research methods training for national partners in Ethiopian Nile Basin rainwater management project
Between 8 and 12 November 2010, the Nile Basin Development Challenge initiative (of the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food - CPWF) organized a training workshop for national researchers on ‘research methods to build understanding of the planning and implementation of rainwater management strategies’ in Ethiopia. After the meeting, we talked about the workshop with Alan Duncan (ILRI), Josephine Tucker (ODI) and Eva Ludi (ODI). The workshop was part of the ‘Nile 2’ project that focuses on technologies, institutions and policies and integrated rainwater management.
