Background
For the past 5 years, CGIAR Livestock and Fish program has worked in a solution-driven approach to agricultural research. This combines technical upstream interventions in animal health, animal feeding and animal genetics with multi-stakeholder interventions with communities and along value chains. Special attention is given to inclusive value chain development, by and for the poor, targeting women and people facing environmental and public health issues. This workshop will synthesize and explore experiences and lessons, focusing on opportunities for livestock and fish value chains to contribute to food security, livelihoods and empowerment towards a fairer, more sustainable world.

Objectives
Critically examine 5 years livestock and fish research to help shape future research for development investments

Agenda
Present the Livestock and Fish CRP as a model testing several hypotheses in xx countries. NOT business as usual: value chain transformation plus technology development; with partners; for and by the poor; multi-stakeholder engagement and platforms; accelerating research to generate impact at scale, strong gender focus. Lay out key aspects of the approach; hypotheses and assumptions. NO assessment yet. || Tom Randolph || Emily – transforming a value chain from scratch Amos – developing multi-stakeholder hubs and platforms Rein – climate-smart livestock interventions Barbara – empowering community based livestock development Malcolm – embedding action research in a big development intervention with close development partners || Parallel stands/posters to share insights, results and lessons, and solicit inputs.
