The first HORN Sandpit event will take place between the 8th and 12th October 2018 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The focus for this event is the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 2, “Zero hunger”, which cuts across HORN’s three developmental challenges:
(i) Disease and disease control: Increasing the health and productivity of livestock to provide better nutrition and reduced zoonotic disease transmission to people in the Horn of Africa
(ii) Agriculture, livelihoods and economics: livestock agricultural systems in the Horn to reduce animal and human disease, improve local economies and increase financial resilience
(iii) Health in changing world: Human and animal health under conditions of societal, climate and environmental change
