ILRI Consultancy - Feed Assessment Tool - Jobs in Kenya

The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) works to improve food and nutrition security and reduce poverty in developing countries through research for efficient, safe and sustainable use of livestock.

It is the only one of 15 CGIAR research centres dedicated entirely to animal agriculture research for the developing world. Co-hosted by Kenya and Ethiopia, it has regional and country offices and projects in East, South and Southeast Asia as well as Central, East, Southern and West Africa.

Background

The Feed Assessment Tool (FEAST) is a participatory method to support systematic selection of livestock feed interventions at community level.

FEAST has been applied in over a dozen countries and around 80 FEAST reports are currently in the public domain on the CGIAR digital repository CGSpace.

However, many FEAST reports have been developed but need improvement before putting them in the public domain. We seek a consultant with an understanding of livestock feed science in the tropics, to gather such reports and edit them to a common standard suitable for publication on CGSpace.
