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:

  1. with partners, to develop, test, adapt and promote science-based practices that—being sustainable and scalable—achieve better lives through livestock.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

A family explains how they use 'Desho' grass as a feed for their livestock and the challenges they have during the dry season. They practice cut and carry system by keeping their cattle in the compound which lets them have sufficient fodder during the dry season. The photo film is produced by the project on “Enhancing communities’ adaptive capacity to climate-change induced water scarcity in drought-prone hotspots of the Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia” (a project implemented by ILRI, UNEP and Wollo university).

Water harvesting is one way that farmers can deal with climate-change induced water scarcity in Ethiopia. Here community members explain how this technology is used by households to grow high value crops when the rainy season is over. The photo film is produced by the project on “Enhancing communities’ adaptive capacity to climate-change induced water scarcity in drought-prone hotspots of the Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia” (a project implemented by ILRI, UNEP and Wollo university).

Yimer Haile plants an improved field pea on his land and explains the difference between the improved and the previous one. He says the improved pea is very nice, drought and disease resistant, colorful and high yielding. The photo film is produced by the project on “Enhancing communities’ adaptive capacity to climate-change induced water scarcity in drought-prone hotspots of the Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia” (a project implemented by ILRI, UNEP and Wollo university).

A farmers story on how he uses 'Desho' grass as a feed for his livestock. He explains how climate change is affecting his crops, and how the highlands are getting hotter. He plans to plant more Desho grass to stop his livestock traveling to low lands thus protecting them from catching disease. The photo film is produced by the project on “Enhancing communities’ adaptive capacity to climate-change induced water scarcity in drought-prone hotspots of the Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia” (a project implemented by ILRI, UNEP and Wollo university).

Communities around Woreilu woreda in Kabe watershed agreed to stop free grazing after receiving advice by the project on “Enhancing communities’ adaptive capacity to climate-change induced water scarcity in drought-prone hotspots of the Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia” (a project implemented by ILRI, UNEP and Wollo university). Here, Awol Ali explains how adopting a 'Cut and Carry' system has benefited his livestock.
