Abstract

This Strategic Plan for the State Department of Livestock is a 5-year nationwide sectoral document aiming at developing the animal sector recognized as one of the drivers of the Big 4 Agenda focusing on actualizing the priority area on food and nutritional security and has a key role to play in manufacturing and agro-processing and attainment of universal health care through public health. The Vision of SDL in this Strategic Plan is to be a leading agency in creating a sustainable and globally competitive livestock industry. The Mission of the SDL in the Strategic Plan is to promote sustainable development of the livestock sector by creating an enabling environment through policy and legislative interventions while providing services that increase productivity, value addition, market access, and income in the livestock sector. The strategic objectives for the SDL - arising from its mandate (and that is to promote, regulate and facilitate the Livestock Sector for socio-economic development and industrialization), situational analysis, and the lessons learned from the implementation of the previous Strategic Plans - are to (i) strengthening policy, legal and institutional capacity; (ii) increasing production and productivity; (iii) improving market access and trade; (iv) improving resilience for ASAL communities; (v) Strengthening monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and information management.
