The AHP underwent a review process of its on-going and recently completed projects. To facilitate the process, relevant research projects were grouped together in clusters. The evaluation looked at the research context of these clusters (as opposed to individual projects), research achievements, policy implications and their impact, as well as the current and potential impact of this research on the poor.

AHP success stories: Saving lives, securing livelihoods (PDF, 463 KB)

 

Brief description: Since 1995 the DFID Animal Health Programme (AHP) together with the other DFID Research programmes, in particular with the Livestock Production Programme (LPP), has been implementing research whose outputs will directly affect the lives of poor livestock keepers. This period has seen a transformation in the type of research undertaken, which has been made possible by the willingness of the tropical livestock disease research community to reorient and redirect its efforts. The poor are now targeted even more explicitly than before and research also focuses on initiatives that will yield fruit within a shorter period of time so as to be able to achieve impact relatively rapidly, working towards the Millennium Development Goals.
