// Overview –Steve Staal: Lessons, Reflection, Future Perspectives //
 * 14:30 – 15:45 'Livestock Market Opportunities for the Poor' ** [Tent]

Participant debate, sharing, reflection on issues related to:

Inputs based on four briefs:
 * Demand for livestock products
 * Value chains and innovation systems
 * Competiveness and uptake of livestock technologies
 * Livestock trade and SPS
 * 1) Animal-source foods in the developing world: demand for quality and safety
 * 2) Smallholder competitiveness and market-driven uptake of technology: strong now, but having to raise the game going forward
 * 3) Changing approaches to pro-poor livestock market development: Innovation and upgrading in the value chain
 * 4) The interface of market access and SPS requirements: lessons from recent ILRI research

**PROCESS**
Facilitation: Ewen
 * (5 min) Introduction of the session by Steve - where it fits in the ILRI and overall livestock agenda, how it ties in with other themes, what this session hopes to achieve: priorities for future research.
 * (20 min) Presentation (by Steve) of the key elements of the briefs. 3-4 min for each of the briefs and they focus on:
 * 1-2 key lessons;
 * 1-2 strong signs of evidence;
 * 1-2 research gaps identified;
 * Final take by Steve on what seem some strong pointers for the future and where we might need to re-think our approach or do more research
 * (45 min) Group work / World café: evidence and focus for livestock market opportunities (facilitated by Ewen)
 * World café with 9 tables of 8 to 14 people.
 * The tables are arranged in a sort of grid with as X a continuum from '//I am not involved at all// to //I am very closely involved// in this work about livestock market opportunities for the poor' and as Y a continuum from 'I'm interested in //conceptual// issues to I'm interested in //practical// //issues'.//
 * 3 rounds (20 + 15 + 15 min) to discuss:
 * What are the knowledge gaps where more research and evidence are needed? Are we missing any key issues?
 * Where we have evidence, what should our priorities be to have most positive impact for the poor?
 * Are there new partnerships or audiences we should be targeting? How do we better leverage evidence for impact?
 * At each round, participants are welcome to freely move along the continuum to reflect their level of involvement or their level of interest in practical vs. conceptual issues.
 * (5 min) Key take-homes (facilitated by Ewen) looking at the practical/conceptual and weak/strong involvement spectrum; closure of the session, gathering 4-6 key insights (in addition to the notes taken during the discussion).

**TO ORGANIZE**

 * Find 9 world café table owners
