<b>Subject:</b> [EXTERNAL] [Iyrp-gcg] Side event for FAO livestock meeting</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">
<div>
<p>Hi All, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>ILRI planned to put in for a side event to be held during the FAO livestock meeting 29 September-01 October, and Gregorio advised to think about reframing it as a IYRP event.
</p>
<p>The FAO livestock meeting falls between two events where we/ILRI-partners will already have some private sector in attendance. And also FAO is looking to strengthen its focus on private sector. And given that there have been some interesting
investments in rangelands recently and our own interest in private sector engagement (through STELARR) I have suggested framing it from a private sector perspective.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are you happy for me to proceed with this as a IYRP event? Any thoughts are welcome. Would appreciate quickish response as then need to contact potential speakers.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Best</p>
<p>Fiona </p>
<p> </p>
