![Page 2: Potential Livestock Research Areas in ( LIVES) Project](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163d9550346895dd52da4/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Why research?
• To create knowledge on project’s livestock interventions
– To feed into the learning activities in the project areas.
– To disseminate the knowledge for scaling out beyond the project areas.

Prioritization research locations
• Importance of a commodity between zones – based on number HHs involved
• Importance of the commodity within a zone – based on number of HHs involved
• Sites with high scores on both criteria considered first
