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

0900	Welcome and objectives	Shirley Tarawali
0915-0930	Livestock and Fish CRP: An experiment in accelerating inclusive research for development 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
0930-1010	BUS-STOPS 1: Living Evidence 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. On a flip chart: Key aspects of our approach 5 key lessons and implications of these for empowering smallholders Q&A with visitors Document key feedback from visitors: How can this approach be improved to empower AR4D value chain stakeholders
1010-1015	Short break
1015-1100	BUS-STOPS 2: Living Evidence Birthe/Martin – environment and climate change framework and interventions Ben L/Jacobo –feed and forage discovery and delivery Rhiannon/Barbara – equity and value chain assessment for empowerment Karen/Julie – Animal genetic information for better livelihoods Amos/Emily – combining up- and downstream animal health interventions	Parallel stands/posters to share insights, results and lessons, and solicit inputs. On a flip chart: Key aspects of our approach 5 key lessons and implications of these for empowering smallholders Q&A with visitors Document key feedback from visitors: How can this approach be improved to empower AR4D value chain stakeholders
1100-1115	Bus-stops brief feedback from the living evidence.	Key insights and feedback
1115-1130	Livestock and Fish CRP: Evaluation of an experiment in accelerating inclusive research for development Some key issues, challenges and lessons learned in delivering this model [tensions].	Tom Randolph
1130-1200	Synthesis: Looking to the future How do we improve the model so AR4D contributes delivers impacts at scale, leading to a fairer, more sustainable world	Fishbowl exercise with Shirley Tarawali
