    ILRI is a successful organization by most measures. It has overcome a difficult merger 12 years ago, and has risen to the challenge of a vastly expanded mandate without benefit of substantial additional resources. To make its task more difficult and its achievements more impressive, it is supposed to conduct research across all major domestic animal species in all regions of the poverty‐affected world. To accomplish any of this requires a form of intelligent focus that ILRI has been ab le to demonstrate. It should be a matter of pride to the CGIAR and beyond that a Center has delivered so much in an increasingly restricted and competitive funding environment, one in which funding increases tend to be modest. This review of ILRI’s programs and management takes place within the context of a sound institution. It is for that reason that many of the EPMR’s recommendations are presented in terms of strengthening current trends and practices, although sometimes with specif ic requirements for changes in modes of management and delivery.

    Evaluation of the project "Strengthening institutions and capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture and State Veterinary Inspection Service for Policy Formulation"
    Project code: GCP/TAJ/013/EC

    The EU-funded project aimed to strengthen institutions and capacities for strategic decision-making, planning, regulation, quality control and management in the food and agriculture sectors, including livestock. The evaluation found that the project was well aligned with the needs and priorities of national stakeholders, with FAO’s strategic objectives and with community beneficiaries. Several strategies, assessments and policy papers were developed, pilot initiatives were started, the Ministry of Agriculture was sensitized to reform processes and its changing role in the context of a market economy. Furthermore, capacities for delivering animal health services have improved considerably and are used. The project managed to navigate across institutional changes, although it suffered from delays that impeded the complete implementation of the pilot initiatives on agrarian reform. Acknowledging FAO’s comparative advantage in assisting the initiation of agrarian reform, the evaluation makes a number of recommendations for a successful policy reform, which include continuing to work closely with all involved ministries and stakeholders at all levels, to guide and steer the process from the start through endorsement; alongside a systematic approach to capacity building and training for involved ministries.
