ILRI

ILRI is an international nonprofit CGIAR research centre with more than 600 staff and offices across Africa and Asia. Its Nairobi headquarters and Addis Ababa campus anchor shared laboratory platforms and animal research facilities that provide services and host scientists from public institutions, universities and private companies. Country offices and partnerships with governments, research organizations and businesses connect this infrastructure to field settings and support collaboration and capacity building across regions. Funding comes through the CGIAR Trust Fund and contributions from national governments, foundations and development organizations. This distributed model offers corporate R&D teams ways to engage with research capacity and local partners in regional contexts.
