Mission and vision
ILRI envisions a world where all people have
access to enough food and livelihood options to
fulfill 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.
Strategic objective 1
ILRI and its partners will
develop, test, adapt and
promote science-based
practices that—being
sustainable and scalable—
achieve better lives
through livestock.
Strategic objective 2
ILRI and its partners will 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.
Strategic objective 3
ILRI and its partners will
work to increase capacity
amongst ILRI’s key
stakeholders and the
institute itself so that they
can make better use of
livestock science and
investments for better
lives through livestock.

All types of food are needed – diversity of food
Specifically, the world will need:
1 billion tonnes more cereals to 2050
1 billion tonnes dairy products each year
460 million tonnes meat each year

High income countries include much of Europe. In fact, if one looks at individual European nations in many cases there is a DECLINE in demand (Switzerland for beef (-22%) and pork (-14%) for example)
Mention who are decision makers
What practices
Metrics: Over a 5–10-year time period, livestock-related real income for 2.8 million people is increased by 30%, the supply of safe animal-source foods in ILRI’s target sites/countries1 is increased 30%, and greenhouse gas emissions per unit of livestock product produced are reduced. Simultaneously, in partnership with others, these results are scaled to tens of millions more people.
Metrics: Within a 10–15-year time frame, the share of agricultural budgets invested in livestock in ILRI’s target countries are brought at least 20% closer to livestock’s contribution to agricultural GDP. Increased investor contributions to the livestock sector should drive greater representation of livestock commodities in development efforts. Metrics to assess the underpinning changes in attitudes and behaviour will be defined based on learning from taking pilot studies to scale in target countries.
Metrics: ILRI has not previously articulated capacity at this level or covering such a diversity of engagement, spanning both institutions and individuals from farmers to local and global decision-makers. ILRI will therefore conduct a baseline assessment before specifying the exact metrics for this third strategic objective; the metrics will specify the number of individuals and key institutions to have developed greater capacity to make greater use of livestock research results—be it for better productivity on farms, improved environmental management or more strategic use of development resources
ILRI’s use of the terms ‘practice’ and ‘decision-makers’ in this strategy encompasses a wide range of scales and
groups. The following are examples of these wide ranges in livestock systems with high potential for growth and
in those where increasing resilience rather than productivity is paramount.
Where there exists high potential for economic growth in mixed crop-and-livestock systems of developing
countries, ‘inclusive growth’ for poverty reduction and food security can often be achieved through the
development of pro-poor livestock value chains. Here, improving practice refers to the uptake of technologies
and institutional innovations that (1) increase on-farm livestock productivity in smallholder production
systems as well as (2) efficiencies in their associated market channels, (3) improve the equitable distribution of
benefits generated through more livestock employment and income, and (4) minimize livestock threats to the
environment and public health. The men and women decision-makers who adopt these practices include not
only the livestock keepers and market agents who handle livestock and their products, but also the individuals,
businesses and government agencies that support the value chain through the products and services they supply
such as feed, veterinary care and public health regulation.
In dryland pastoral and agro-pastoral systems, where harsh and highly variable climates pose considerable risk
of loss of livestock assets, both household income and food security can be protected against climate shocks by
improved practices. In the case of drought, these might include making index-based livestock insurance available
to livestock herders, conducting early de-stocking in conjunction with private traders, and making better use
of functioning livestock markets. In the case of flooding, which can trigger outbreaks of economically important
livestock and zoonotic diseases such as Rift Valley fever, better practice might entail more reliable predictive
climate models used in conjunction with early livestock vaccination campaigns to prevent regional market
closures able to devastate the livelihoods of livestock producers, traders and others. Changes in practice here
would depend on choices made by decision-makers including local men and women livestock pastoralists and
agro-pastoralists, market agents and slaughterhouse personnel as well as those at regional and global levels whose
actions, policies and investment decisions impact small-scale dryland livestock systems and enterprises.
Changes in practice thus spans a range of choices made by decision-makers at all levels, from livestock producers
(men and women in both small scale and extensive production systems), to market agents and others intimately
engaged with raising, selling and consuming animals and their products, through to those at local, regional and
global levels whose development actions, policy and investment decisions impact the livestock sector.
To achieve its three strategic objectives, ILRI must excel in five performance areas, referred to here as critical
success factors, which were identified in an analysis of both the external environment (Appendix 2) and ILRI’s current
strengths and weaknesses (Appendix 7) in relation to the mission and strategic objectives. The institute has excelled
in many of these areas up to now, and has a solid foundation on which to build. The specific articulation of these
performance areas as interacting and mutually supporting critical success factors recognises the need for ILRI as one
of many players to respond to the challenges to be addressed if the institute is to achieve its aspirational strategic
objectives. They also provide the institute with a structured way of planning and subsequently monitoring these
key areas. The critical success factors provide a bridge between the institute’s three strategic objectives and the
operational frameworks for each these (Figure 2). Below, each of the five critical success factors is defined with a brief
description of why it is essential, what it involves and how it will be operationalized. The set of critical success factors
provides the means for ILRI to focus every dimension of its operations on achieving the institute’s strategic objectives,
as well as to oversee and monitor the whole institute. Partnership is key to all of these; Box 4 on page 28 sets out
some principles for the way ILRI works with partners
