Objectives
The workshop objectives where to 1) arrive at a common understanding of the Theory of Change approach, especially for scientists and partners who were not at the Nairobi workshop, 2) revisit and review the change pathway developed for the Ethiopia small ruminants value chain, 3) validate and refine the change pathway developed for the small ruminants value chain in Ethiopia. Workshop participants included both value chains scientists and other actors/partners.
