• African Union - InterAfrican Bureau for Animal Resources

Posted 2 Sep 2025 Closing date 29 Sep 2025

Introduction and Context

The African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) is a specialized technical office of the Department Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment (DARBE) of the African Union Commission (AUC). The vision of AU-IBAR is: "An Africa in which animal resources contribute significantly to integration, prosperity and peace". Its Mission is: to provide leadership and integrated support services for the development of animal resources in Africa.

AU-IBAR's Mandate Is To Support And Coordinate The Sustainable Development And Utilization Of Animal Resources (livestock, Fisheries And Wildlife) To Enhance Nutrition And Food Security And Contribute To The Wellbeing And Prosperity Of The People In The Member States Of The AU. AU-IBAR Is The Main Vehicle For The AU To Develop Appropriate And Independent Expertise To Support And Coordinate The Sustainable Development And Utilization Of Animal Resources To Enhance Food And Nutrition Security And Contribute To The Wellbeing And Prosperity Of The People In The AU Member States. Under This Mandate, AU-IBAR Is Implementing The Africa Pastoral Markets Development (APMD) Platform, a 4-year Pan-African Initiative For Investment/market-enabled, Adaptive Transformation For Pastoralism. AU-IBAR Recognizes That Pastoralists Are Critical For Inclusive Agricultural Transformation In Africa As

• Pastoralists account for 2 – 7% of national GDP and contribute % of meat across Africa (up to 50% of meat exports in many geographies).
• Demand for meat and milk in SSA expected to increase by more than 250% by 2050
• Pastoralists provide valuable ecosystem services, using indigenous climate adaptive practices on marginal lands, sequestering carbon, and managing water in ASAL regions
• Despite potential benefits, pastoral programs have focused on humanitarian activities instead of integrating pastoralists with livestock markets

However, pastoralists are severely marginalized and disproportionately impacted by climate change. Historic investments, though significant, have had limited impact. Given the increasing demand for livestock products, pressure on natural resources, and climate shocks, AU-IBAR is committed to promoting the adoption of a long-term systems lens and coordinated actions within and across countries and sectors/stakeholders to tailor approaches to pastoral communities and archetypes.

With Support From The Gates Foundation (GF), AU-IBAR Is Hosting And Operationalizing The APMD Platform, a 4-year Continental Initiative, Which Will Build On Prior Programs And Strengthen The Pastoral Sector Enabling Environment To

• Integrate pastoralists with livestock markets, create positive cycles for investment in the value chain, strengthen business continuity, and provide more affordable livestock-sourced products for more consumers.
• Unlock the full potential of up to USD Three Billion of planned pastoral investments over the next 3-5 years
• Strengthen best practice & knowledge sharing for promoting pastoralists' integration into livestock markets; and
• Identify potential areas to shift long-term funding and investments for better outcomes for pastoralists.

The APMD Platform Will Strategically Influence, Promote And Provide Visibility Of Market-focused Interventions To Enhance Pastoral Integration Into Livestock Markets, Among Key Stakeholders. The Platform Will Achieve That By Convening And Coordinated Actions Through Multi-stakeholder Fora Designed To Implement Priority Actions Under The Three Pillars Below
