Livestock & Agribusiness

Livestock is central to livelihoods, trade, and food security across the Horn of Africa. It drives household income, exports, and resilience for pastoral and agro-pastoral communities. Sustainable growth in this sector depends on innovation, animal health, climate adaptation, and compliance with international sanitary and trade standards.

HPRD provides end-to-end technical and advisory services across livestock and agribusiness value chains — from feasibility studies, policy reform, and value chain analysis to laboratory and quarantine systems development. We support alignment with WOAH, WTO-SPS, Codex Alimentarius, and ISO/IEC 17025 frameworks to ensure safe, traceable, and competitive livestock trade. Our work enhances veterinary systems, trade facilitation, and resilience in cross-border ecosystems.
