ILRI’s mandate

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 core research areas

Livestock geneticsAnimal and human healthFeed and forage resources developmentSustainable livestock systemsPolicy, value chains and livelihoodsImpacts at scaleBecA-ILRI hub

BIOSCIENCES EASTERN AND CENTRAL AFRICA (BecA-ILRI Hub)

A strategic partnership initiated by ILRI and AU-NEPAD: A biosciences platform that makes the best lab facilities available to the African scientific community

Research: Towards food security and improved nutrition

• Crop improvement

• Livestock productivity

• Climate change mitigation

• Food safety and improved nutrition

• Underutilized crops and livestock

Key drivers Need for critical mass of skilled

bioscience researchers in NARS

Lack of well equipped laboratory facilities; adequate and sustainable financial resources; and technical support to active researchers

Need for partnerships for knowledge sharing, innovation and delivery of innovations

Need to effectively leverage biosciencesfor agricultural development

ObjectiveTo support and strengthen

capacity of African NARS to drive agricultural innovation

Components• Research fellowships

• Skill-enhancement courses

• Institutional capacity building

• Mobilizing capacities for joint actions
