As a CGIAR center, the world's largest agricultural research network, ILRI will strengthen collaboration with global development organizations, leverage 4.0 technologies, and harness the strengths of stakeholders, particularly MARD – ILRI’s strategic partner – and inter-ministerial government agencies from central to local levels, to mobilize resources for implementing the 2024–2030 Sustainable Livestock Development Strategy in Vietnam, aligning with the priorities of Vietnam’s livestock sector and the broader Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

MARD is honored to be chosen as ILRI’s research and investment hub in the region and is confident that with ILRI’s strengths in capacity building and applied research, ILRI will contribute significantly to sustainable food systems, animal health, and climate change response.
