As part of its communication material, the European Commission Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA) relies on State of Play booklets, which provide a thematic focus on programmes and interventions related to Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture (FNSSA) implemented by INTPA F.3. Their purpose is to inform a wider audience of the EU’s vision, approach and results on a particular subject. State of Play booklets are instrumental to communicate INTPA’s position and serve a double purpose of capitalising thematic and technical knowledge while communicating on results. With the end of the Multi-Annual Financial Framework (2014-2020), it was considered necessary to update existing State of Play booklets and develop new ones to provide information on achievements and lessons learnt from programmes implemented over the period. As part of this initiative, this booklet discusses EU cooperation within the livestock sector.
