International Livestock Research Institute
To test and evaluate market mechanisms to support the scaling of technological and institutional innovations developed by ILRI and partners.
Various technologies, products, best practices and institutional approaches that have been successfully piloted over the years for the livestock sector. However, their uptake and impact has been limited. Scaling them up through expansion, adoption, and replication has proved challenging, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This area of work collaborates with ILRIs Impact and Scaling group, focusing on scaling through market mechanisms. First, ex-ante assessments of the bundles of innovations will be conducted in collaboration with the sub-theme on foresight and policy analysis, as well as other ILRI programs. Delivery approaches will be identified and tested, and then scaling strategies for innovation bundles will be developed with the scaling team. Adoption studies and ex-post impact assessments in the sub-theme on ‘market system approaches for delivery of innovations, and safe and affordable animal-sourced foods' will be conducted on selected innovations as part of the evidence for scaling.
