Using an economic and livestock systems integrated framework, the research highlights moderate yet sustained impacts on agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and significant improvements in the livestock sector. Breeding interventions have the largest cumulative effect on agricultural GDP, while health measures, particularly dewormers, yield long-term gains in livestock productivity. Under the balanced scenario, breeding contributes significantly to both meat and milk sector GDP, while feed interventions show a smaller impact overall. The model estimates the economic and livestock systems over a period of five years (t1-t5) from a base year at t0, which corresponds to the Fifth Structural Transformation in Agriculture (PSTA5) period.Item CGIAR Initiative on One Health results' dissemination workshops in Vietnam(Report, 2025-01-31) Lam, Steven; Chi Nguyen; Sinh Dang-Xuan; Trang Le; Ha Thi Thanh Nguyen; Hien Thi Thu Nguyen; Thang Nguyen-Tien; Phuong Nguyen; Unger, Fred; Hung Nguyen-VietItem Visioning workshop for updating the Somalia One Health strategic plan (2025–2029)(Report, 2025-03-11) COHESA SomaliaItem One Health network for southern and eastern Africa: A workshop bridging science and policy(Report, 2025-03-11) Caron, Alexandre; Meunier, Julie; Desta, Hiwot; Yussuf, BukeItem The dynamic impacts of alternative livestock sector intervention and spending options in Rwanda(Working Paper, 2025-02-28) Aragie, Emerta A.; Bahta, Sirak T.; Baltenweck, Isabelle; Enahoro, Dolapo K.; Karugia, Joseph T.; Thurlow, James; Warner, JamesThis study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of various livestock interventions—feed, breeding, and health—and budget allocation strategies (balanced, feed-oriented, breeding oriented, and health-oriented) in the context of Rwanda’s economic and livestock systems. Using an economic and livestock systems integrated framework, the research highlights moderate yet sustained impacts on agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and significant improvements in the livestock sector. Overall, breeding interventions have the largest cumulative effect on agricultural GDP, while health measures, particularly dewormers, yield long-term gains in livestock productivity. Under the balanced scenario, breeding contributes significantly to both meat and milk sector GDP, while feed interventions show a smaller impact overall. The study also finds that biased spending scenarios lead to differing outcomes across livestock sub-sectors. Breeding-oriented spending boosts milk GDP initially, whereas health-oriented spending excels in meat production through reduced deaths and increased liveweight. By the end of the simulation period, a balanced investment strategy results in a 12.5 percent increase in meat yield and a 27 percent rise in milk yield, largely driven by breeding. Health interventions, particularly deworming, are crucial for sustained meat production, while improved feed mitigates mortality and supports stock growth. These results can support policy dialogue, such as the recently introduced Fifth Strategic Plan for Agriculture Transformation (PSTA 5), as policy makers seek to revitalize the livestock sector and enhance its resilience to future challenges.Item Rapport de l’atelier de partage des résultats du projet SEFASI(Report, 2025-01) Gning, M.A.D.; Faye, A.; Dione, Michel M.Item Restoration of Livestock Services in Conflict and Drought Affected Areas of Ethiopia (RESTORE): Inception workshop report(Report, 2025-02-15) Berhanu, Dagim; Desta, Hiwot; Gizaw, Solomon; Knight-Jones, Theodore J.D.Item Restoration of Livestock Services in Conflict and Drought Affected Areas of Ethiopia (RESTORE) 2024–2028(Brief, 2024-11-30) International Livestock Research InstituteItem Food Safety Technical Working Group in Vietnam E-bulletin, July-December 2024(Newsletter, 2025-02-25) Food Safety Technical Working Group in VietnamItem Preventing antimicrobial resistance in poultry(Brochure, 2025-02-19) Directorate of Veterinary Services, Kenya; International Livestock Research InstituteItem The one-humped wonder: Ethiopia’s camels in focus(News Item, 2024-06-25) Megersa, B.; Amenu, Kebede; Knight-Jones, Theodore J.D.; Jemberu, Wudu T.As the United Nations marks 2024 as the International Year of Camelids, we explore some key facts about Ethiopia’s camels, and their crucial but underappreciated role in supporting livelihoods and food security in the face of climate change.Item Enhancing disease surveillance through data digitization in meat inspection(Report, 2024-07-23) Kimani, Daniel; Chemutai, Abigael; Cook, Elizabeth A.J.Item Report on food safety intervention and supervision at pig slaughterhouses in Dien Bien Province(Report, 2024-12-30) Nguyen Van Cuong; Nguyen Thi Thu Hang; Dang Xuan Sinh; Unger, FredItem Implementation of food safety assessments, interventions and communication for improved awareness and practice on food safety in Son La province(Report, 2024-09-01) Nguyen Ngoc Toan; Dang Xuan Sinh; Unger, FredItem Training report on food safety risk assessment and management(Report, 2024-02-15) Sinh Dang-Xuan; Unger, FredThe Agroecology and Safe Food System Transitions (ASSET) project is a five-year regional initiative (2020–2025) funded by AFD, the EU, and FFEM, implemented in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The project aims to promote agroecology for sustainable food and agricultural systems through capacity building, technical and organizational innovations, and policy dialogue. In Vietnam, the project focuses on Dien Bien and Son La provinces, with food safety as a key component. ILRI, in collaboration with local authorities and HUPH, organized a one-day training in Son La to enhance food safety management. The training covered Vietnam's food safety situation, risk assessment frameworks, and interventions to improve hygiene practices in traditional markets. It aimed to strengthen local authorities' capacity and support sustainable agricultural transformation in the province.
