Research and technology transfer are the intellectual engine of LDI’s mandate. Everything LDI does — from the AI technician’s field visit, to the dairy investor’s feasibility study, to the policymaker’s decision on breed improvement strategy — is ultimately grounded in research. The 10-Year Strategic Plan codifies LDI’s commitment to research through Strategic Goal 4 (advancing research and technology diffusion) and Goal 7 (technology transfer, adaptation, and scaling), establishing concrete targets for published research, technology adaptations, impact evaluations, and international twinning outcomes.
This menu provides stakeholders with full visibility into LDI’s research framework, technology transfer pathways, knowledge management systems, and support mechanisms for private research — positioning LDI as the intellectual hub of Ethiopia’s livestock sector development ecosystem.
