To address livestock as a global public good, a strengthened alliance has been formed among key institutions charged with shaping and steering the global livestock agenda.
The alliance (African Union-Interafrican Bureau for Animal Resources, Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, International Fund for Agricultural Development, International Livestock Research Institute, World Bank and World Organisation for Animal Health) aims to develop strategic goals, and to create, and share publicly, a means to measure progress against these goals.
