ILCA
The International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA), established in 1974, is an autonomous, non-profit making research, training and information Centre with a mandate to improve livestock production throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The activities and publications of the Centre are financed by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The CGIAR members which have funded ILCA to date are the African Development Bank, the European Economic Community, the Ford Foundation, the International Development Research Centre, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, the United Nations Development Programme, the World Bank, and the governments of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
ILCA conducts its own research programme, works closely with national agricultural research systems (NARS) in collaborative research projects and seeks to develop the research capacities of NARS by providing specialised training programmes and a range of information services.
ILCA's publications series include Research Reports, Monographs, as well as conference proceedings and a quarterly ILCA Newsletter. Responsibility for ILCA publications rests solely with the Centre and with such other parties as may be cited as co-authors.
