and monitoring of best‐bet interventions
• Socio cultural (fit into local context)
• Cost‐effective (affordable by farmers)
• Sustainability and environmentally friendly e.g. (do it
themselves and pass it over)
• Technology attributes: simple/appropriate
• Institutional support
• Realistic and measurable within the time frame of the
project
• Other criteria (contribution to project Vision and
Mission)

CGIAR is a global partnership that unites organizations engaged in research for a food secure future. The CGIAR
Research Program on Livestock and Fish aims to increase the productivity of small‐scale livestock and fish systems
in sustainable ways, making meat, milk and fish more available and affordable across the developing world.
