Information on this meeting


 * ORIGINAL Objective**: To design and test pro-poor, gender-sensitive strategies to upgrade the target value chains to sustainably increase production and improve animal-source food availability for low-income consumers, and guide their scaling out as major development interventions


 * ORIGINAL Outcome**: Stakeholders are aware of and actively promoting pro-poor, gender-sensitive strategies that are improving productivity and profitability of small-scale animal husbandry and aquaculture in an environmentally sustainable manner, and increasing animal-source food consumption among poor consumers


 * ORIGINAL Outputs:**
 * **Output 1**: Sectoral and economy-wide models established to evaluate pro-poor development scenarios in each target value chain
 * **Output 2:** Methods for identifying and responding to upgrading opportunities in animal-source food value chains developed that are pro-poor, gender-sensitive and environmentally sustainable
 * **Output 3**: R&D innovation alliances created to promote and sustain growth of the target pro-poor value chains
 * **Output 4**: Technological and institutional options devised and validated for each target value chain that are pro-poor, gender-sensitive and environmentally sustainable
 * **Output 5**: Integrated intervention strategies formulated and piloted in each target value chain that are pro-poor, gender-sensitive and environmentally sustainable
