Seeking livestock disease experts to strengthen evidence base for Africa and South Asia

Are you an expert in one or more of the livestock diseases listed below? Your expertise can help shape an important open-access evidence repository to support livestock decision-makers. 

SEBI-Livestock (Supporting Evidence-Based Interventions in Livestock) is updating an evidence base on livestock disease impacts across Africa and South Asia. This project will create an evidence base that livestock decision-makers can use to prioritise interventions and allocate resources effectively to ultimately improve animal health and productivity. Your knowledge can help strengthen the quality and relevance of this evidence synthesis ensuring it comprehensively identifies the most relevant information.    

This is your opportunity to 

• Join a collaborative network of leading experts 

• Guide methodology development and ensure scientific rigour 

• Contribute to an evidence base to inform livestock policy, practice and investment 

• Potentially co-author publications resulting from the synthesis 

• Receive acknowledgment in project outputs and publications 

We welcome your participation through an expert consultation
