Value Chain Development Team Meeting
Nairobi, 5-8 March 2012

2. CRP 3.7 2.2 Value Chain Assessment
Generic outputs and implications for Tanz in 2012
Outcome: local and international partners have established an R&D
alliance to transform Dairy VC in Tanzania
Priority Research outputs for 2012 Implications for Tanzania /
delivery mechanisms
1. Scoping study to characterize dairy VC and identify Funded
stakeholders and potential partners •Initial scoping (LaF)
2. Basic toolkit for VC assessment compiled for • MilkIT (IFAD)
testing • More milk (Irish Aid)
3. Analytical framework for assessing VC performance • SFFF 2 (BMZ)
established •Livestock Data Innovation
4. Rapid assessment of VC to inform design of in- (BMGF/WB)
depth assessment, and to identify preliminary priority
Potential
constraints and best-bet upgrading strategies to test
•EADD CE  EADD 2
(incl. specific components on environmental impacts,
•Sustainable intensification
food safety risk assessment and gender analysis)
(USAID FtF)
5. Candidate intervention strategies for piloting
•Next phase of ASARECA-PAAP
Linkages with sub-components (AH, Feed, Genetics, Joint assessments of constraints /
Food safety etc) Candidate technologies: ITM, ????

3. Update on activities and partnerships
• Probable partnerships
– EADD 2, USAID FtF, EPINAV(Norway, SUA), EAAPP
(WB/IDA loan with ASARECA convening role)
• Local partnerships
– TAMPA/TAMPRODA, ACT, LoL, HPI, MLDF Res
Centres (e.g., Mpwapwa), MVIWATA, FAO/UNDP ag
value chains projects, AGRA’s “breadbaskets”
partnerships

4. Objectives of key delivery mechanisms in
2012
MiLKIT (IFAD): Enhancing livelihoods through feed innovation and
value chain development approaches (1.0m 3yrs)
• Institutional strengthening: To strengthen use of VC and innovation
approaches among dairy stakeholders to improve feeding strategies.
• Productivity enhancement: To dev options for improved feeding
• Knowledge sharing: To strengthen knowledge sharing mechanisms on
feed development strategies at local, regional and international
levels
IrishAid: More milk by and for the poor: adapting dairy hubs for Tanzania
(0.5m/yr)
1. Inform policy on appropriate role for pro-poor smallholder-based informal
sector value chains in dairy sector development
2. Generate and communicate evidence on business and organizational options
for increasing participation of resource-poor households in dairy value chains
3. Develop scalable value chains approaches with improved organization and
institutions serving resource-poor smallholder dairy households
SFFF2: From capacity building to implementation: $30-50k for Tanzania in 2012

9 Mar 12 in Morogoro
CRITERIA FOR TARGETING DAIRY VALUE CHAINS FOR TANZANIA
1. Livestock production systems (most criteria below disaggregated by this)
2. Socio-economic data
•Human population & poverty ($1.25 & $2 /day)
•Market access: local sales and time to nearest market centre of 50,000 or more people.
•Consumption (FAOStat)
3. Livestock density
4. Feeds: biomass use / feed requirements by livestock
5. Production:
•Bovine milk production
•Surplus - deficit areas
6. Excretion: spatial distribution of bovine N excretion
7. Emissions (environmental angle): spatial distribution of bovine emissions
8. Climate: Length of growing period
9. Trends
•Projections of consumption of different animal products (demand)
•Feed surpluses/deficits
•Growth in animal numbers
10. Targeting: plans to identify 3 strata:
•Rural production to urban consumption
•Rural production to rural consumption
Next Steps in targeting : About 6 candidate areas to be identified through GIS layers; out of which 3
are selected through discussion. Then detailed site selection tool applied in the selected areas

8. 2.2 Value Chain Assessment
2012 Priorities for
Organisational, Capacity Development and
Communication Activities
 Create a country VC team to match CRP needs (CIAT already has
an office (Selian Agric Res Inst in Arusha); ILRI office will be
determined by selected sites
 Initiate engagements under MiLKIT, Irish-Aid, EADD CWG
 Pursue new proposals under EADD2 SUA led projects, USAID FtF
EAAPP, Others
 Fill gaps for priority recruitment or partnerships across sub-
component and other CRP’s
 Develop a communication strategy targeted to stakeholders and
partners (with 2.3)
