Behind the book

This page brings together addtional information about the seminal publication "The impact of research at the International Livestock Research Institute."

Data resources at ILRI

Information and access to ILRI's data, tools, and code. For more about ILRI's commitment to openness click here.

The data portal makes ILRI's open access datasets globally available. The platform is also the main access point for data from the CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and from other CGIAR research programs and centres as part of our cross-centre collaboration.

FUNDERS OF THE WORK OF ILRI, ILCA AND ILRAD

ILRI gratefully acknowledges the generous funding it received from the following organizations throughout its more than 45 years of livestock-research-for-development work. It is this financial support that made possible the achievements described in this volume. Although every attempt has been made to be comprehensive in our acknowledgements of these critically important donor organizations, it is likely that a few names have been omitted in our coverage of so much historical record, and we again ask for the reader's indulgence in this; we are keenly aware of the huge debt ILRI owes to every single organization that funded ILRI's work over these many years. Please also note that we have purposively excluded from these acknowledgements the names of the many CGIAR centres, programmes, platforms, and initiatives that provided ILRI, ILRAD and ILCA with the means to conduct collaborative work across CGIAR.

Open Access is one of the key pillars of ILRI’s organizational objectives. We believe that open access contributes to our mission of reducing hunger and poverty and improve the lives of smallholder farmers through research.

In 2010, ILRI's management committee adopted an ILRI strategy on research publishing. This said that the institute would intentionally move towards making its research and other products more accessible. It also talked of open access and agreed that ILRI information products would have a creative commons license. This was the start of a concerted move towards more open information and data products, platforms and services at ILRI.
