The document outlines Ethiopia's Livestock Master Plan (LMP) for the period of 2015-2020. The LMP was created by the Ministry of Agriculture to guide the development of the livestock sector as part of the country's wider growth and transformation plan. It includes the creation of models for different livestock production systems to analyze their impacts on poverty reduction. The LMP proposes interventions to improve family and specialized dairy, red meat, and poultry production. It also projects increased production surpluses of red meat, poultry meat, and total meat if the LMP interventions are implemented. Successful implementation will require significant public and private investment in the major value chains.
