The document discusses livestock master plans (LMPs) that have been developed for several countries to guide investments and policies for the livestock sector. LMPs developed for Ethiopia, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uzbekistan, and the Indian state of Bihar identified a total of over $1.5 billion in proposed investments. Recent LMPs have used a toolkit originally developed by several international organizations. Upcoming LMPs are planned for Nepal, Guinea, and the Indian state of Odisha. The goal is to influence agricultural investment planning processes and improve livestock sector visibility.
