Motivation
The COVID-19 pandemic is a global issue, with crucial short and long-term consequences, and the livestock sector must play its role in contributing to more sustainable, healthy future food systems. All livestock stakeholders have a role to play in articulating COVID's impacts on the sector and ensuring sustainable livestock fully contribute to building forward on all development aspects. With a multi-stakeholder approach, the meeting will identify COVID-19's impacts and strategize stakeholder responses worldwide to build forward a more sustainable future from the livestock sector.

- Prepare inputs for the June 2021 GASL MSP Meeting in Delémont, Switzerland, and for the 2021 Food Systems Summit
Regional objectives
- Present regional impacts of COVID-19 and assess drivers of change, consequences and stakeholder responses to the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the four sustainability domains of food and nutrition security, livelihoods and economic growth, animal health and animal welfare and climate and resource use.
- Identify options in the short, medium and long run, on how the livestock sector is could improve its response through a sustainable livestock approach with solutions of multi-stakeholder nature.
