VSF-Germany worked to improve Somalia's dairy value chain by influencing policy, enhancing women's participation, and strengthening skills and networks. The project benefited over 100,000 milk consumers and families, as well as government staff and extension workers. Outcomes included reduced post-harvest losses, increased fresh milk availability, linkages between producers and vendors, a variety of dairy products, higher incomes, and better quality milk available to consumers through public institutions monitoring quality and hygiene. Core interventions included supporting dairy regulations and policies, capacity building, technology transfer for value addition, and quality assurance systems.
