ILRI’s official tagline is ‘better lives through livestock’.  We previously talked about ‘livestock, pathways out of poverty’. We call our in-house newsletter ‘Livestock Matter(s)’.

We often search for snappy and insightful ways to express and share what we do.

To mark 40 years research at ILRI, this week you will see a series of posters going up across the Addis and Nairobi campuses.

Selected by Susan Macmillan, the first posters seek to stimulate discussion and reflection about ILRI: who we are, how we work, what we stand for, the importance of livestock.

Please edit, correct or improve any of the posters (you’ll need a pen!)

Please also add any additional quotes or statements you think apply, or should apply to us. Indicate any favourites. If you want a particular one for your office, wend an email to Susan.

We aim to have the 40 ‘top’ posters exhibited, for further editing, at the ILRI40 events in Addis in November
