Synopsis (short abstract) This volume brings together the synthesis of discussions, key observations, recommendations and the papers presented in the workshop. Structurally, the volume is divided into five sections. Plenary addresses from the inaugural session are presented in first section. The next three sections present the discussions and papers from technical sessions on each of the respective themes. Each of these section opens with an Editor’s Report which attempts to present a synthesis of discussions in the plen ary and technical sessions. The reports in each section are then followed by the papers presented on that theme. A brief chapter titled ‘The Way Forward’ then articulates some elements of an action plan towards operationalizing the workshop recommendations. A number of participants also contributed various kinds of relevant analysis in the form of poster papers. These are made available as Annexures to the main report.

    This report represents an attempt to operationalize the “One-Health” concept in Ethiopia. It is the result of an open and continuous multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary dialogue, guided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in collaboration with the Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 Programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Along this consultative process, national stakeholders have innovated under different perspectives. The report provides information on the methodology used to measure the returns of policies and investments aimed at tackling zoonotic diseases, whose outbreaks can have major negative impact on society, such as bovine tuberculosis and anthrax. What is possibly most valuable is that this report represents a key milestone in a longer journey we have all embarked on: we have agreed to build on this report to continue an open and informed multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary dialogue about the long-term dynamics of the livestock sector in Ethiopia. Our objective is to appreciate its trends and likely future impacts on society in order to design and implement informed policies and investments today, which will ensure a sustainable development trajectory of the livestock sector in this country in the long-term, for the benefits of the future generations.

    Livestock have a variety of characteristics that make them important contributors to sustainable rural development. They directly enhance crop output through animal traction and improvement of soil fertility. They act as a store of wealth for future investment. Furthermore, livestock provide marketable products, which are generally of higher value and less vulnerable to critical harvest timing than many crops.
