October 2017 - Livestock Facts Update | The University of Edinburgh

Louise Donnison, SEBI data analyst, attended LD4D at the GLAD meeting at ILRI, Kenya in October 2017.

GLAD is a BMGF project tasked to help counter unbalanced narratives and to increase understanding of livestock-in-development dialogues. Amongst other things, the GLAD project is distilling evidence around livestock ‘goods’ and ‘bads’ as well as developing a user-friendly toolkit giving access to livestock evidence, facts and key statistics as well as a learning module to help people better advocate livestock-for-development issues. This meeting discussed and reviewed progress on this topic. It has been proposed that LD4D will be involved in evidence collation and assessment for this initiative. We hope to engage with GLAD again at the LD4D meeting in Kenya in February and will be discussing this with the GLAD team.
