Transcript of ILRI Annual Program Meeting 2010
Why are we here? What outcomes are we expecting?
• I know the ILRI family (and culture) better (particularly out posted staff)
• I am able to articulate ILRI’s position on livestock goods and bads, meaning what are real bads, real goods and what we don’t yet know (a reality check?)
• I understand better where ILRI is strong and where we still need to work harder…… I have challenged my thinking on what I am doing – how I do and deliver my work (say what exactly changed)
• We have clarified our thinking on how we can contribute to new CG mega-programs
