 Colleagues, thank you. Welcome to the Policy Trade Value Chains team, PTVC, and all objective of our program is to really understand how do public policies on the one hand and institutions, organizations created by market stakeholders on the other affect performance of domestic agri-food value chains and international agri-food value chains. Overall, we conduct research on value chain performance, upgrading innovations and competitiveness issues, focusing on livestock and livestock product value chains, and in particular, focusing on small-holder production systems, and really looking at creating analytical and methodological tools to achieve deeper understanding of value chains and stakeholders of agri-food systems. Through RESEX, our other PTVC implements regional trade and integration policy analysis and engages directly with policymakers and contributes to the implementation of the CAREP agenda. So the link to the EURI strategy is really at the heart of EURI strategy is the objective to improve food security and reduce poverty, and really increasing profitability and enhance market access is a necessary ingredient to achieve this. So improving value chain performance and efficiency is a very important aspect of achieving this game and improving access, especially in terms of affordable livestock or animal food products. So why improving productivity at farm level is necessary to increase food availability? It is not sufficient to improve livelihoods and incomes alone. So understanding policies and institutions, markets and trade do matter in this objective. So our strength and weaknesses, I think strength, PTVC has done well on research. Also, in terms of more recently, our publications in 2014, we've increased a lot and have been focusing on this project implementation on the ground in various countries, including Botswana, Swaziland, Somaliland, and also capacity development, not only engaging through with students, but also our partners on the ground, and especially also through RESEX in terms of capacity development. Weakness, as I would say, includes communication, especially internal communication to increase our visibility and also to show our work in terms of what we're doing. We have a limited budget, I think, due to some of the financial issues we've gone through as an organization. So this is a challenge for us. Overall, we can work more on strengthening value chain analysis and frameworks and share that more with others. So our proud moments, I would say, have been our publications, especially in 2014, 11-page review journal articles. We held successful conferences and led them, especially the one in Accra that led to special policy publications in food policy, finalizing the value chain tools in collaboration with other ill-reinvolved fish researchers, and also really the development of value chain tools community of practice, as well as conferences related to that, both physical and webinars, those led by Joe Cadillon, those were great moments, and also more recently we held a policy conference in Botswana with great participation by researchers, policymakers, and farmers from all over the continent and other parts in other countries. So those are just a few to note. Dial moments overall, I think the financial meltdown of, you know, in terms of what we went through as an organization, and of course, PTVC was particularly affected by the CRP, PIM money reduction. This was a very dull moment, certainly. And overall, what we need from other parts of Erie, I would say overall is greater and more meaningful collaboration with other programs. With BioScience, certainly PTVC can provide market analytical work and value chain assessment work. For example, on vaccine, assessing vaccine delivery services, et cetera. With LSE, we can work more together on policy and market-based approaches to deal with climate change challenges, whether it be land degradation, range land management, tenure, land tenure policy issues, and also resilience. Those are some key areas that, where there are opportunities. LGI, obviously, gender is their strength. This is an area that is more being called on to show evidence. We do not do a lot of work on gender, but we do have a lot of data. So collaborating on LGI on gender analytical work would be good. For food safety, certainly looking at economics of food safety issues, cost of zoonotic diseases, and valuation of, you know, food safety and quality attributes of livestock products. So overall collaboration in with other programs and more meaningful, not just backstopping, those would be good. And to be able to have good influential publications together would be an area to focus on and really implement. A dream alliance, I would say, is one that enables us to scale out some of the evidence and, I think, research activities that we are leading and implementing, whether it be an alliance with some of the regional bodies such as SADEC, or SACU, or even African Union, or some of the development banks, to scale out some of the work we're working on. For example, whether it's innovative finance schemes in Swaziland or the competitiveness project in Botswana to say, we've done the work then, let's scale it out to three other countries in the region or so. That will be a dream alliance, whether it be with regional bodies, other local organizations or some of the big development agencies and, of course, they can provide some of their resources to do that. So I end here in answering those questions and thank you for listening. Thanks.
