Summary for Steering Committee More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Overview and context of ‘Maziwa Zaidi’ Summary for Steering Committee A. Omore and L. Kurwijila Presentation at Project Review and Planning and Steering Committee Meeting 19 March 2014

More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project Background Tanzania’s GDP growth over the last decade has barely impacted the poor Smallholder dairy VC R&D engagement since Jan 2012 Strong focus on pro-poor marginalised pre-commercial men and women Research solutions and more investments are needed to transform the livestock sector Acting now, together and coherently, we can create a vibrant dairy sector & exploit it for the benefit of the poor Aim is to provide proof-of-concept on how marginalised groups can also be targeted successfully

Tanzania is one of 9 Target Value Chains SHEEP & GOATS AQUACULTURE PIGS DAIRY

Objectives (derived from ASDS and Irish Aid Tanzania CSP) More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project Objectives (derived from ASDS and Irish Aid Tanzania CSP) Goal: Inclusive growth and reduced poverty and vulnerability among dairy-dependent livelihoods in relevant rural areas in Tanzania Outcome: Rural poor are more income secure through enhanced access to demand-led dairy market business services and viable organisational options, and low-income consumers have better access to affordable milk.

Contributing Objectives over 5 yrs More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project Contributing Objectives over 5 yrs Develop scalable value chains approaches with improved organization and institutions serving resource-poor male and female smallholder dairy households Generate and communicate evidence on business and organizational options for increasing participation of resource-poor male and female households in dairy value chains Inform policy on appropriate role for pro-poor smallholder-based informal sector value chains in dairy sector development

Addressing 4 inter-related problems that face resource-poor milk producers Dominant direct sales of small volumes by smallholder producers that preclude economies of scale Credit facilities for basic inputs and services or working capital are lacking. This discourages investment to improve productivity Lack of appropriate organizational models for pre-commercial producers (complex cooperative models and technology-driven solutions have largely failed, especially applies in extensive areas) Seasonality of rainfall and related effects are strong

Identified villages

Plans to achieve objectives: 2013-16 More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project Plans to achieve objectives: 2013-16 1. Develop scalable value chains approaches with improved organization and institutions Output 1.1 Vibrant, well organized, and sustainable DMHs delivering demand-led inputs and services developed (Led by Heifer & FAIDA Mali) Establish DMHs: Operate the DMHs: Output 1.2 DMHs governance strategies strengthened through non-formal trainings (Led by Heifer and FM, with support from SNV) Strengthening actors and their organisations Output 1.3 DMHs assessments undertaken and used for improving the performance of dairy value chains DMHs assessments (e.g., adapting and applying stage-gating tool) - serving development pilot in real-time Pilot is targeting 30 villages with 4800 cattle keepers across 4 districts:

Plans to achieve objectives: 2013-16 More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project Plans to achieve objectives: 2013-16 2. Generate and communicate evidence on business and organizational options Output 2.1 DMHs act as platforms for generating and communicating evidence on business and organisational options for increased participation of resource poor men and women in the dairy value chains Targeted research: serving development pilot in real-time Gender analysis and gender mainstreaming of DMHs Output 2.2 Value chain governance strategies strengthened to generate, package, and communicate information critical to DHMs rollout Improving quality assurance services and communication (Led by TDB) Output 2.3 Evidence of DMHs as viable and sustainable dairy value chain development models generated and communicated Assessment of the efficiency of integrating small-scale informal value chain into the formal and development of scaling out strategies Delivery of learning products - serving development pilot in real-time

Plans to achieve objectives: 2013-16 More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project Plans to achieve objectives: 2013-16 3. Inform policy on appropriate role for pro-poor smallholder-based informal sector value chains in dairy sector development Output 3.1 Lessons for sustainable value chain development through evidence-based research, monitoring and evaluation, and recommendations for scaling out developed and disseminated Generation and communication of evidence and lessons Advocacy Final evaluation Cross-cutting Monitoring, Learning and Evaluation framework

Hubs for piloting in the Tanzania context More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project Hubs for piloting in the Tanzania context Dairy Market Hubs (DMHs) with emphasis on improving access to inputs and services through business development services (BDS) and check-off arrangements: a) DMHs revolving around chilling plants or accessing them (if under-utilized) through transport arrangements that provide both outputs marketing and inputs and services through check-offs; b) DMHs revolving around check-offs for inputs and services provided through milk traders; and c) DMHs revolving around check-offs for inputs and services provided through cattle traders.
