Centre of Excellence for Livestock Innovation and Business (CoELIB)

The Centre of Excellence for Livestock Innovation and Business (CoELIB) has its origins in the iLINOVA (Innovation for the Livestock Industry) initiative that focused on strengthening capacity for participatory management of indigenous livestock to encourage agricultural innovation in Eastern, Southern and Western Africa. This initiative was coordinated by Egerton University in Kenya in collaboration with lead partners in the form of Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR) in Malawi and Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Nigeria. One of the key tasks of this initiative was to establish a Centre of Excellence for livestock innovation and business that builds on existing capacity and fosters innovation and agri-business development.
