CGIAR consortium, a global agricultural research partnership for a food-secure future (www.cgiar.org) ILRI works with partners worldwide to enhance the roles that livestock play in food security and poverty alleviation, principally in Africa and Asia The outcomes of these research partnerships help people in developing countries keep their farm animals alive and productive, increase and sustain their livestock and farm productivity, find profitable markets for their animal products and reduce the risk of livestock-related diseases lLRI was established through the agreement on the establishment of the International Livestock Research Institute and the constitution of the International Livestock Research Institute signed on 21 September 1994 by the Governments of Kenya, Ethiopia, Denmark, Sweden, the Swiss Confederation and the United Nations Environment Program, as a nonprofit international research organization with similar privileges and immunities as UN specialized agencies ILRI is a not-for-profit institution with a staff of about 700 and, in 2014, an operating budget of about US$ 83 million A member of the CGIAR consortium working for a food-secure future, ILRI has its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, a principal campus in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and offices in other countries in East, West and Southern Africa and in South, East and Southeast Asia, including the Vietnam office in Hanoi, which now serves as ILRI’s Regional Office for East and Southeast Asia ILRI leads the CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish (CRP L&F), leads a flagship of the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) on the prevention and control of agriculture-associated diseases, and contributes to seven other CGIAR research programs Staff members work in integrated sciences and biosciences programs that develop and deliver science-based practices, provide scientific evidence for decision-making and develop capacities of livestock-sector stakeholders With the African Union/New Partnership for Africa’s Development Planning and Coordination Agency, ILRI also hosts and manages the Biosciences eastern and central Africa (BecA)-ILRI hub.” ILRI in Vietnam The presence of ILRI in Vietnam started in 2006, hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) A Memorandum of Understanding for establishing a long-term collaboration was signed between ILRI and the MARD on 26 February 2007 In 2008 ILRI established an office sharing arrangement with ICRAF – another CGIAR centre ILRI Vietnam had an official registration with People's Aid Coordinating Committee (PACCOM) and was granted the operation certificate no 170/BNG-HĐ dated 18 July 2013, issued by the Department of International Organizations, Ministry of Foreign Affairs An application for revision of terms of operation was lodged with PACCOM in July 2014 to update the current list of provinces where ILRI proposes to work with new sites and an increased number of staff from with the expansion of ILRI activities Specifically, ILRI staffing profile has increased from international staff when the official registration was approved in 2013 to a proposed international staff and national staff by January 2015 ILRI completed research 2007-2014 ILRI’s research activities in Vietnam during this period were mainly global or regional projects, with Vietnam as one of the study sites Major projects with significant collaborative partnerships with Vietnamese partners since 2000 are listed below Two major bilateral projects “Pig competitiveness” and “EcoZD” which have now been completed are also described The Crop-Animal Systems Research Network (CASREN) (2000-2005) Increasing the productivity of crop-livestock systems in the rainfed humid and sub-humid agroecological zones of Southeast Asia Phase (three years, 2000-2002, US$ million funded by the Asian Development Bank through the CGIAR RETA); key partners in Vietnam were the National Institute of Animal Husbandry (now the National Institute of Animal Science) and the Institute of Agricultural Sciences of South Vietnam Phase of this project (three years, 20032005, $1.1 million funded by the ADB through the CGIAR RETA); key partners in Vietnam were the NIAH (then NIAS), IASS, with some collaboration with the Dept of Agrarian Systems of Vietnam Agricultural Science Institute (now VAAS) and the National Extension Center of MARD Sustainable Parasite Control in Southeast Asia (2000-2003) Sustainable Parasite Control in Southeast Asia Phase (two years 2000-2001, US$ 800,000 funded by the Australian Center of International Agricultural Research); key partners in Vietnam were NIAH (now NIAS), the Goat and Rabbit Research Center, and the Dept of Animal Health Phase (two years 2002-2003, $800,000 funded by the International Fund for Agriculture Development); key partners in Vietnam were NIAH (now NIAS), GRRC, and DAH Contract Farming for Equitable Swine Production in Vietnam (2005-2006) $600,000 funded by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) through the system-wide livestock program; key partners were Hanoi University of Agriculture and the Department of Livestock Production of MARD ZooMap (2011-2012) ILRI has recently completed a global study funded by the Department of International Development of the UK for the mapping of poverty and likely zoonoses hotspots, and Vietnam was one of the key contributors to that initiative through collaboration with Hanoi School of Public Health (HSPH) The study maps poverty, livestock keeping, and the diseases humans get from animals, and it presents a top 20 list of geographical hotspots The research report from that study can be accessed at http://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/21161 This study has been widely cited and used by the donor to establish research focus on zoonotic diseases Managing risk in emerging pork markets: A South-South Symposium In April 2012, ILRI organized an international symposium on Managing Risk and Food Safety in Emerging Food Markets with funding support from the ACIAR and in collaboration with Vietnamese partners Hanoi University of Agriculture and Hanoi School of Public Health (http://www.ilri.org/node/1248) Policy advocacy ILRI has also been an active supporter of national collaborators, e.g., through contributions to the Outlook for Agriculture Conference organized annually by CAP-IPSARD and international conferences such as the International Association of Agricultural Economics in 2011 organized by the Center for Agricultural Policy-Institute of Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development CAP-IPSARD, and the Asian-Australian Animal Production Conference in 2008 organized by the Animal Husbandry Association of Vietnam Improving Competitiveness of Pig Producers Improving Competitiveness of Pig Producers in an Adjusting Vietnam Market (2007-2010, US$ 900,000 with funding from the ACIAR); key partners were the Center for Agricultural Policy – Institute of Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development Project details and outputs are accessible at www.vietpigs.com.vn Rapid Integrated Assessment (RIA) of Nutrition and Food Safety ILRI conducted a Rapid Integrated Assessment (RIA) of Nutrition and Food Safety in Value Chains in 2012-2013 and supported by ACIAR This project developed methods and tools for assessing value chains in relation to nutrition and health and conducted an assessment of food quality and safety research priorities in pig value chain in Vietnam together for fish value chain in Egypt, and dairy in Tanzania This study confirmed findings emerging from our food safety work Most of the poor buy animal source food daily or weekly Most food is bought in informal markets and this food is often highly contaminated with pathogens and chemical hazards However, hazards not necessarily translate into risks to human health Chemical hazards appear to have a lower disease burden than biological hazards but are of major consumer concern Food borne disease causes illness, medical expenses and lost productivity At the same time, rising concern over food safety can act as a barrier to market access or a motivation for policies to support larger scale production at the expense of smallholder production However, the animal source foods which are the most risky from a health perspective are also some of the most valuable from a nutrition perspective There are many opportunities to reduce health risks and increase nutritional benefits from animal source food Zoonotic diseases management with Ecohealth – EcoZD (2008-2013) The Ecosystem Approaches to the Better Management of Zoonotic Emerging Infectious Diseases in SE Asia (EcoZD) project EcoZD project (2008-2013) aimed at better management of zoonotic diseases using an Ecohealth approach in Vietnam, among several other countries in the region The project worked directly with key zoonotic emerging infectious diseases (ZEID) management actors across four multi-disciplinary teams in Vietnam The project met its primary objective, which was to increase the capacity of researchers and implementers to use novel EcoHealth approach for better control of zoonoses; this was documented using outcome mapping and EcoHealth uptake assessment but also documented through scientific presentations and publications The Project strengthened research capacity and introduced the EcoHealth approach using workshops (for individual and multiple teams), trainings and individual mentoring by experts from ILRI, ILRI partners within and beyond the SE Asia region Research topics included leptospirosis in animals and humans and hygienic status of small scale poultry slaughter houses and markets A total operational cost of $212,000 was invested into Vietnamese partners including MARD Department of Animal Health, the National Institute of Veterinary Research (NIVR), Nong Lam University, Pasteur Institutes in Ho Chi Minh city, and the Institute of Environmental Health and Sustainable Development (IEHSD) The research teams are still supported on development of potential scientific publications ILRI ongoing and future committed research The CGIAR research system has changed its traditional way of doing research The complex issues of agricultural research for development require an innovative approach to research and no individual research institution working alone can address the critically important and challenging issues of global change, agriculture, and food security and rural poverty In 2011, CGIAR has launched 16 global CGIAR research programs (CRPs) that are jointly implemented by 15 CGIAR research centers and their partners ILRI is leading one CRP, which is Livestock and Fish (L&F) but is involved significantly in seven other CRPs, such as Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH), Integrated System for Humid Tropics (Humidtropics), Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) All research at ILRI has been reorganized under the umbrella of these CRPs In Vietnam ILRI work is aligning with the above mentioned global programs CRPs Vietnam is a focal country for the CRP “Livestock and Fish”, being one of the nine animal product value chains in eight countries that are targeted for upgrading in this CGIAR Research Program These platforms are being developed and tested in the pig value chain in selected areas in Vietnam In addition, the CRP A4NH has focused its activities in the areas of food safety, zoonoses and One Health / Ecohealth and partners with both agriculture and health sectors The CRP on Humidtropics has developed its activities in Northwest and Haut Plateau whereas CRP CCAFS will start activities from 2015 onwards with a high concentration of work in regionally representative sites in the Northwest (Son La, Yen Bai, Dien Bien), center (Ha Tinh) and South of Vietnam As part of CGIAR research programs (CRPs), ILRI is responding to issues that have been prioritized by the region of South East Asia, such as better management of natural resources and addressing the marginalization of smallholder farmers in the modernizing food systems of these countries There is much reason to be optimistic about the future of livestock here: the growing demand for meat, milk and eggs offers ways out of poverty for many millions of people, trade is being liberalized and learning is happening more and more from south to south In Vietnam ILRI has placed emphasis on two high-priority areas that are perceived as both opportunities and threats: sustainable intensification of mixed crop-livestock agricultural systems and mitigation of risks inherent in changing agricultural systems High-priority area 1: Sustainable intensification of mixed crop-livestock agricultural systems This priority area includes the following main elements: i) Crop livestock system integration and productivity – with a focus on forages and crop residues, including integration in tree plantation systems and other mono crops, and through improved food/feed crops; ii) Conservation and utilization of animal genetic diversity in the region – through market-driven models of production; and iii) Value chain and market development for smallholder participation and productivity – also innovative options for organizational transformation to comply with changing market demands The main activities of this priority area belong to two CRPs, namely Livestock and Fish and Humidtropics, that are described below Livestock and Fish CGIAR Research Program (livestockfish.cgiar.org) This CGIAR research program has a vision of ‘more meat, milk and fish by and for the poor’ and aims to sustainably increase the productivity of small-scale livestock and fish systems, making meat, milk and fish more available and affordable to poor consumers across the developing world This ILRI-led CRP is focused on transforming a few livestock value chains in selected countries, of which Vietnam is a focal country for the pig value chain ILRI, CIAT (International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), ICARDA (International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas), and the WorldFish Center are the core CGIAR partners in this program Various other strategic and value chain partners, both locally and internationally, also play key roles in the implementation of the program In Vietnam, the program has identified the following provinces as study sites: Son La, Hoa Binh, Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Lam Dong, and Dong Nai ILRI has concluded in 2013 a Memorandum of Understanding with Tay Nguyen University as a strategic partner for the implementation of L&F in the Central Highlands A Memorandum of Understanding with Nong Lam University as a strategic partner in South Vietnam was also concluded in the same year These new MoUs and the existing MoU with the MARD and collaborative research agreements with research institutes will continue to provide the collaborative framework for all our activities in L&F in Vietnam Key outputs in 2013 and 2014 include a situational analysis of the pig value chain, policy analysis using an updated multi-market partial equilibrium model of the Vietnam pig sector, a review of feeds and feeding technologies that have been generated and tested by Vietnamese research institutes, an inventory of available laboratory tests along the pig value chain, and a scoping study on indigenous pig value chain in the Central Highlands of Vietnam Estimated yearly research investments to support the Vietnam work in this Program are pegged at approximately US$ 500,000 both from the CGIAR consortium funds and bilateral projects REVALTER (2012-2015): Multi-scale assessment of livestock development pathways in Vietnam This project aims to promote a new vision of livestock development in Vietnam It assesses the changes that affect environmental, economic and social relationships between livestock breeding, agriculture and rural territories It also conducts a systemic approach of livestockecosystem relationships that will be documented at the farm level, the territorial level and the value chain level It is funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and in collaboration with IPSARD/RUDEC Other than IPSARD, REVALTER is involved in research on dairy and pork value chains with NIAS, CASRAD and Nong Lam University of HCMC More information at: futurelivestock.net/index.php?language=1&cateId=1227 GEF project on AnGR (2009-2014): Conservation through utilization of animal genetic resources This project aims to develop breeding tools for use in low-input livestock production systems, cost-benefit analysis tools for comparing breeding programs for different indigenous breeds and populations and analytical frameworks for assessing policy and marketing options for farm animal genetic resources It is funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) Asia, and the national partner is the National Institute of Animal Science (NIAS) Integrated indigenous pig systems and value chains (2014-2015) This scoping study evaluates the potential of integrated indigenous pig systems and value chains to improve livelihoods and safe pork consumption for poor ethnic minority smallholders in the Central Highlands of Vietnam The study will be implemented in the province of Dak Lak, where indigenous pig breeds are kept by a number of ethnic minority groups, and where ILRI and CIAT have strong links to national partners The study on pig animal genetic resource use in Vietnam is expected to be finalized in early 2015 One main output will be identified new research ideas on the field of pig genetics The study on indigenous pig systems works across different CRPs and CGIAR centers investigates a range of issues on pig genetics, key constraints, feed, food safety and markets It is expected to lead to an overall evaluation of the potential of indigenous pig farming systems to improve the livelihoods and safe meat consumption of Vietnamese ethnic minorities Further full-scale proposal development for potential more in-depth research is also foreseen for this study CRP Livestock and Fish funds $100,000 for this project within its “Strengthening cross-CRP collaboration” activity Integrated Systems for the Humid Tropics (Humidtropics) CRP Humidtropics, a CGIAR Research Program (CRP) led by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), seeks to transform the lives of the rural poor in tropical Americas, Asia and Africa It uses integrated systems research and unique partnership platforms for better impact on poverty and eco-systems integrity Its core program partners are the World Vegetable Center (AVRDC), Bioversity International, CIAT, International Potato Center (CIP), FARA, icipe, World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), IITA, ILRI, the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), and Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR) One of the components of Humidtropics is the characterization of study sites through baseline surveys The aim of the baseline household surveys is to provide a broad set of information that will inform coming exercises in the implementation phases of the Program The baseline data will also be used to establish typologies that characterize the field sites The first baseline household survey focuses on Son La and Dien Bien provinces of Vietnam, both of which are within the cluster of provinces of Northwest Vietnam that have been identified as Humidtropics action sites The Vietnam National University of Agriculture is the principal Vietnamese partner The second baseline household survey is planned for implementation in 2015 in Daklak and Daknong provinces of Vietnam, which are identified as Humidtropics action sites in Central Highlands The TNU is the principal Vietnamese partner Another component of the Humidtropics CRP is the value chain assessment of major agricultural commodities within the existing farming systems ILRI in collaboration with CASRAD in NW Vietnam and TNU in Central Highlands organized a Value Chain Stakeholders Workshop in 2014 The workshop stakeholders used the LINK methodology developed by the Center for International Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) The LINK methodology is very useful participatory tool which helps to comprehend the current structure of the market chain and key business models The chosen methodological approach uses expert advice gathered by stakeholders during a two day workshop Stakeholders together with CGIAR researchers synthesize gained information to characterize chosen value chains and key business models within the value chain and come up with entry points for possible marketing interventions In the first day of the workshop participants mapped the value chains of above mentioned commodities Value chain mapping helped to depict the basic arrangement of the existing value chain for commodities It describes the way the commodity flows from a farm gate to end markets and illustrates how the particular value chain functions The mapping exercise provided an immense opportunity for multi-stakeholder debates to disclose opportunities and bottlenecks to be addressed The workshop participants also identified key business models within the chosen value chains for linking smallholder farmers to dynamic markets The developed business model canvas for each commodity assists in establishing a grounded dialog between smallholders, development and private actors and shows how business processes can support local economy It describes the enterprise‘s business model and highlights bottlenecks and financial imbalances More importantly, it identifies areas for upgrading and innovation Table 1: List of MoU and CRA between ILRI and Vietnamese partners 2007-2014 No Institute Project title ILRI Partner Contact person Period Budget (USD) Carlos Sere Jimmy Smith

life of people through livestock We highlight key outcomes, impacts from recent works conducted in Vietnam Livestock sector restructuring policy ILRI has worked closely with partners, in particular with CAP-IPSARD, on various policy advocacy initiatives that were initiated in the earlier ACIAR pig competitiveness project by producing policy papers using empirical evidence generated to support the case for smallholder livestock systems in Vietnam These policy advocacy efforts have engendered positive developments as exemplified recently in the integration of smallholder livestock transformation policy focus within a new policy on restructuring of the agricultural sector and a new strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development and Vision to 2030 Through various research partnerships, ILRI together with partners have contributed to shaping the livestock sector policy directions set within MARD and in particular the development of the pig sector, in the recently updated Livestock Strategy to 2030 Ecohealth and One Health Through Ecohealth and One Health work, ILRI has contributed to develop the capacity of researchers and implementers to use novel EcoHealth approaches for better control of zoonoses in Vietnam The researchers and policy makers in Vietnam reported significant increased understanding and application of EcoHealth principles with outcomes relating to improved relationship between team members, more efficient research management, understanding of EcoHealth research goals and benefits, and the team’s outreach to boundary partners according to knowledge to action principles The outreach activities provided members an opportunity to directly engage and interact with boundary partners: paraveterinarians and health station workers at the local level This represented an innovative interaction outside the conventional line of command Food safety management with a risk-based approach The work of A4NH, in particular on food safety, has contributed to the establishment and development of a national taskforce for food safety risk assessment This is the first pool of expertise in risk assessment for food safety in Vietnam, which has contributed to the development and implementation of risk-based approach for food safety management in the two ministries - Health and Agriculture and Rural Development, with capacity development of researchers from key universities and research institutes 15 Ways forwards: 2015 onwards Historically focused mostly on Africa and South Asia, ILRI has recently developed a regional strategy for East and Southeast Asia for the next five years 2014-2019 Vietnam is considered as one focal country for our research investment and a hub for ILRI research in the region Apart from bilateral grants/projects (PigRISK, REVALTER, GEF-Asia), ILRI is actively involved in a number of CGIAR research programs that target the Mekong Region and identifies Vietnam as one of the action research countries The total budget of ILRI in Vietnam has grown from US$ 200,000 a year in 2007 to $1.3 million a year including staff costs and operations From 2015, ILRI’s estimated budget is $2.1 million per year for the next four years (Table 2) with our increased research portfolio in the country In addition, we have decided to set up our regional office in Hanoi to support the expansion of ILRI’s activities and partnerships in Vietnam in particular and in the Southeast Asia region in general ILRI based only one international staff member in Vietnam from 2007 to 2013 By 2014 the number of staff in Hanoi has increased to four internationally recruited staff (IRS) and two nationally recruited staff (NRF) From 2015, there will be six IRS and three NRS and the number of staff will vary depending on the development of activities and available resources (Table 3) As a global institute with two principal campuses in Nairobi, Kenya and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where 80% of our staff are based, our working approach is to mobilize ILRI global staff to develop activities in different countries with in-country staff, including Vietnam From a partnership perspective, ILRI is currently working with a range of national and international partners to implement research for development activities in different regions and provinces The work plan for the next five years will require expansion of sites beyond what had been included in the list of provinces when ILRI submitted its application for official registration in 2012 to PACCOM This will include the provinces of Dien Bien, Hoa Binh, Thanh Hoa, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Yen Bai, Ha Tinh, Bac Lieu, Cao Bang, Thai Binh, Hai Phong and Lam Dong Finally, ILRI Headquarters has sent several delegations to visit MARD and other partners in 2014 to show ILRI’s interest in developing further activities in Vietnam and Southeast Asia In April 2014, the members of the Board of Trustees including the Director General and Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of ILRI visited MARD and met with MARD leadership represented by the Vice-Minister to reiterate ILRI’s commitment to develop a long-term partnership plan with the MARD This plan will address livestock research for development, building on ILRI’s work in Vietnam and aligning with the national policy on livestock sector restructuring plan This is the priority that ILRI will follow up closely with the MARD and ILRI’s partners in 2015 16 Table 2: Programs/projects approved and planned for 2015 onwards No Title of Programs/Projects Project Site Vietnamese
