“Women are no longer the silent partner in livestock development, the ones taken for granted. That recognition wasn’t easily achieved, but I think we are there now.” Nicoline de Haan, Director of the CGIAR GENDER program.
Women’s empowerment is hurt if men are left out. Recognising gender recognises the whole system of relationships and power dynamics defining male and female roles in society. In our 2019 Annual Report, we focus on gender-sensitive approaches. Read more in our 2019 Annual Report https://www.ilri.org/research/annual-report/2019/nicoline-foreword
ILRI worked on 136 projects in 2019, including ‘Transforming Vaccine Delivery Systems’ with CARE International UK and Cowtribe Technology Ltd in Ghana, empowering both men and women to detect and treat animal diseases in rural communities.

Antimicrobial resistance may reduce global animal productivity by 7.5% in 10 years, according to the World Bank. Against this, ILRI leads the new CGIAR AMR Hub.
The centre brings together four CGIAR centres, including International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), WorldFish, International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and ILRI, as well as key partners in several CGIAR research programs with partners International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions (ICARS) and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) https://www.ilri.org/research/annual-report/2019/state-of-the-art-antimicrobial-susceptibility-testing-laboratory-at-the-cgiar-amr-hub-led-by-ilri
The 2019 ILRI Annual Report focuses on gender because 2/3 of poor livestock farmers in the developing world are women. Understanding their unique roles women can benefit entire families and communities.
A gender-sensitive project focusing on improved forage was a game changer for East Africa’s male and female pig and dairy farmers. With partners Heifer International, FIPS-Africa, and Iowa State University.
