How we work
Our research infrastructures, coordinating activities and key contacts are focused at hub nodes in Edinburgh, Nairobi and Addis Ababa. The nodes are strategically located and allow us to leverage how we work with world-class facilities and expertise to achieve our mission.

Partnerships
Partnerships are crucial to how we work and to the success of CTLGH and the mobilisation of research and resources to the development and delivery stage. In addition to coordinating the joint research programmes of its strategic partners, CTLGH extends the global reach and impact of tropical livestock genetics and health research by continually identifying, highlighting and partnering with other relevant programmes and institutions focused on diverse livestock species, systems and regions.
Annual Meetings
CTLGH scientists, collaborators, investors and other stakeholders convene annually to review progress, launch new partnerships and programs and plan the future of tropical livestock genetics and health research, development and delivery.
Since the first meeting in Naivasha, Kenya in 2016, the event has attracted a growing and diverse participant list, and is rapidly becoming a ‘must attend.’
