APMD Stakeholders Coordination Workshop on "The identification and assesment to address data knowledge gaps in the pastoral livestock marketing chain"

This workshop will serve as an early opportunity to map current data initiatives, highlight gaps and use cases in the pastoral livestock value chain, and push for collaboration among key actors. The insights that will be gathered in this workshop will guide the design of a national data ecosystem roadmap, help APMD  identify stakeholder roles, and set priorities for the Data Ecosystem pillar in Nigeria. 

The workshop is set to achieve the following objectives:

• To initiate a process of comprehensive mapping for existing key data stakeholders, systems, and initiatives across pastoral livestock marketing value chain in Nigeria.
• To consolidate existing knowledge and lessons learned from ongoing or past data initiatives relevant to pastoralism in Nigeria.
• To explore and prioritize critical data use cases and systems by identifying which improved data collection and utilization can support investment and political decision-making throughout the sector.
• To gather stakeholder inputs for the design of a Multi-Stakeholder Engagement Framework for engaging various actors in the data ecosystem.
• To identify priority capacity building needs among national stakeholders and data actors involved in the pastoral value chain data--toward informing the design of targeted training programs and knowledge products.
