1. Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock
7th Multi-stakeholders Partnership Meeting
Addis Ababa
11 May 2017

2. Introduction
Endorsed by the AU-Executive Council in January 2015 on the recommendation of the African Ministers of Livestock (9th conference-Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire-April 2013)
Strategy formulation Process from January to November 2015, involving extensive stakeholder consultations and culminating in adoption by the African Ministers responsible for livestock

3. Basis for Decision

4. Rapid Urbanization (Livestock Revolution)
Prevailing Factors
Human Population Growth
Growing African Economies
Rapid Urbanization (Livestock Revolution)

5. Increase in per capita consumption
Meat: from 14kg in 2005/07 to 26 kg in 2050
Milk: from 30 liters in 2005/07 to 64 liters in 2050

6. Raise in Demand

7. Raising Imports

8. Potential Effects
If the current scenario in the livestock sector (low level of public and private investments and low sector growth) is maintained, the increase in demand will not be matched by a corresponding increase in production,
Critical shortfall in the supply of quality protein of animal origin,
Negative impacts on food and nutritional security in Africa.
Importation would lead to
increase livestock import bills for the African countries,
increase prices of livestock products
pose a potential food security, food safety and nutritional crisis
affect the growth of local industries
deny millions of youth employment opportunities
reduce income for the local people and
lead to loss of revenues from levies and taxes.

9. Issues from Regional Scoping Studies

10. The Key Issues Identified
Related to Livestock Productivity & Production
Under-exploitation/ development of large animal resources
Inadequate commercial feed production
Underdeveloped access to energy, including renewable resources
Inadequate pasture production
Uneven distribution/ accessibility of water resources
Inadequate land use planning and policies

11. The Key Issues Identified
Related to Animal Health Systems
Inadequate Investments in animal health
Limited technical capabilities (PVS core competences)
High incidence of diseases
Poor targeting of research and access to technology, knowledge and information
Weak formulation and execution of policies, legislations and regulations
Inadequate human and physical resources

12. The Key Issues Identified
Related to Trade, Marketing and Value Chains
Low competitiveness of Africa’s livestock commodities in local and international markets
Failure to address SPS issues in the largely informal livestock trade
Inadequate transport and marketing infrastructure
Asymmetry in access to market information (stakeholders)

13. The Key Issues Identified
Related to Resilience, Vulnerability and Risk Management
Weak capacity & poor preparedness to mitigate the impacts of natural, social/political and market shocks on the livestock sector/livelihoods
Weak/absence of effective disaster early warning systems and prediction models, including weather forecasting
Poor adaptability of major livestock production systems to evolving demographic, social and structural dynamics

14. The Key Issues Identified
Related to Partnerships, Coordination and Collaboration
Fragmented stakeholder efforts characterized by duplication, lack of synergy and wastage of resources
Weak Private-Public Partnerships (PPP) in all aspects of livestock development
Disconnect between regional integration and national (MSs) policies
Poor collaboration/linkages between livestock sector and other supportive sectors (infrastructure, financial services, trade, public health, etc)

15. The Strategy

16. LiDeSA Strategic Approach
Log Transportation on river
Longs are transported by river to their destination and a few of them may block the rest from moving
The few can be moved to unblock the rest.
This would be similar in livestock development in Africa

17. LiDeSA Strategic Approach
Private Sector Investments
(Competitive Livestock RI)
Encouraging Governments to invest in appropriate investment environments
(Reduce cost of doing business and risks in LS)
Transforming the largely traditional/pastoralist and subsistence livestock sector into a vibrant commercially oriented sector
(Reform the sector through targeted value chains, and technology uptake
Fostering mindset Change
(Challenge existing narratives and value propositions)

18. Strategic Frameworks

19. Strategic Targets 10% Budget allocation to Agric.-Maputo decision .
30% of Agric. allocation to livestock (based on 30% average livestock contribution to agric. GDP in Africa)
Malabo HoSG Summit (June 2014)
Recommitment to the Principles and Values of the CAADP process
Specifically Commitment to
Enhancing Investment Finance in Agriculture
Ending Hunger in Africa by 2025
Halving poverty, by the year 2025, through Inclusive Agricultural Growth and Transformation
Boosting Intra-African Trade in Agricultural commodities and services
Enhancing Resilience of Livelihoods and production Systems to Climate Variability and other related risks
Mutual Accountability to Actions and Results

20. LiDeSA Vision
A COMPETATIVE AND SUSTAINABLE LIVESTOCK SECTOR THAT SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTES TO A PROSPEROUS AFRICA

21. LiDeSA Goal
TO TRANSFORM THE AFRICAN LIVESTOCK FOR ENHANCED CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND EQUITABLE GROWTH

22. LiDeSA Strategic Objectives
To Attract public and private investments along the different livestock value chains
To enhance animal health, and increase the production, productivity and resilience of livestock production systems
To enhance innovation, generation and utilization of technology, capacity and entrepreneurship skills of livestock value chain actors
To enhance access to markets, services and value addition 1 2 3 4
Each Strategic Objective has several Result Areas and Strategic options for implementing them

23. LiDeSA Stakeholders
Public and non state actors in l/stock at national, regional & continental levels
Private Sector
Critical Role in funding and implementing LiDeSA. (producers, service providers, processors, marketing agents, etc)
Civil Society & Stakeholder organisations
Important role in the values chains (from economic activities to advocacy and lobbying)
Public Sector
Govts. (policy, regulatory & enforcement role)
RECs (harmonisation of institutional frameworks & trade facilitation instruments)
AU (continental harmonization and coordination) including the PAP, NEPAD and other relevant organs
International Organis. (FAO, OIE, WHO, WTO, IRLI, CIRAD, IUCN, WWF, etc-technical support)

24. Implementation Modalities

25. Implementation Modalities
Based on 5 Pillars
Stakeholders Platform
Planning & Alignment
Monitoring & Evaluation
Awareness and Advocacy
Investment and Financing

26. Importance of the LiDeSA
Identifies specific issues.
Identifies focused solutions (investments, technology, skills development).
Focuses the whole continent towards one vision and Goal
Introduces corrdination of efforts to create synergies and complementarities
Rationalizes the use of resources

27. Conclusion
Africa’s livestock potential has not been harnessed to contribute to well being and socio-economic development.
The absence of a coherent strategy, left most efforts to ad hoc disjointed initiatives.
LiDeSA seeks to harmonize interventions and create synergies
LiDeSA) has been mooted to transform the sector’s performance and contribution to the continent’s social and economic dev. agenda.
