Power of Partnership

The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Livestock Systems is grateful for the support and collaboration of our diverse partners. In all countries, we work closely with the Ministries of Agriculture / Livestock, Ministries of Health and National Agricultural Research Institutes. We also collaborate with other Feed the Future Innovation Labs and USAID Missions.

With over 100 funders, implementation partners, and in-country partners, we maintain meaningful connections with livestock actors in our target countries, as well as across the USA and internationally.

Funders & Implementing Partners

Our work is funded by USAID and, previously, by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Our central office is located at the University of Florida and we work with ILRI, the International Livestock Research Institute, an independent organization affiliated with CGIAR.
