“The Bihar Livestock Master Plan has
identified the main investment areas …..
The present project addresses the
investment requirements, while ensuring
that project interventions are gender
transformative, nutrition sensitive, youth
focused and climate focused.”
A recent LMP ….

“The Ethiopian LMP informed the
livestock sector plan under the Growth
and Transformation Plan II (GTP 2). The
LMP is therefore implemented in its
entirety within Growth Transformation
Plan 2 (GTP 2)”
Tadesse Sori Gobena
(Head of Dairy sector, Ministry of Livestock, Ethiopia)
The Ethiopia LMP ….

During LFSDP’s design, LMP’s detailed
roadmaps were used as the base for group
level work to identify project value chains,
main investments and policy development
options.
