 * Livestock and Fish CGIAR Research Program Theory of Change **

The Livestock and Fish CGIAR Research Program is organized in 5 flagship projects (as of 2015) to deliver program Intermediate Development outcomes (IDOs) and eventually contribute to delivering the System Level Outcomes (SLOs). Four of the flagships relate to the discovery of new innovations through the alignment of system analysis and technology generation. The fifth flagship delivers innovations and research by identifying methods and approaches that enable sustainable scaling. Three flagships (animal health, genetics and feed and forages) develop and supply technologies that are fit for the value chain development. The Systems Analysis for Sustainable Innovations (SASI) flagship works on systems diagnosis to guide the development of value chain customized technical options. The last flagship, Value Chains Transformation and Scaling, integrates technical options, builds capacity and partnerships for scaling up of integrated interventions. The 5 flagships combine to deliver changes in state and benefits that eventually lead to delivery of program IDOs. For instance, the flagships produce outputs that influence policy and investment environment such that research outputs and results are also able to respond to localized demands to facilitate value chain transformation and lead to impact at scale. Once such outputs and results are available, target farmers and other value chain actors adopt them leading to overall value chain productivity and efficiency improvements. Overall value chain productivity improvements will, overtime, result in the four SLOs. 1) The system is likely to have increased food security (SLO2) and improved human nutrition and health (SLO3) when the ASFs start constituting a significant proportion of poor households’ diets and when ASFs become available and affordable. The system is likely have sustained management of natural resources (SLO4) since reduction in input demands per unit of product will lower pressure on natural resources and the environment. Lastly, the system is likely to have reduced rural poverty rates (SLO1) as well as improved human nutrition and health (SLO3) since overall improvement in value chain performance and efficiency will lead to equitable and higher income and employment opportunities for value chain actors.
