1. Expectations and synergies with the CGIAR Livestock and Fish Research Program

2. The Goal : More milk, meat and fish by and for the poor  To sustainably increase the productivity of small- scale livestock and fish systems  To increase the availability and affordability of animal-source foods for poor consumers and,  To reduce poverty through greater participation by the poor along the whole value chains for animal-source foods.

3. Consumers R4D integrated to transform selected value chains for selected commodities in selected countries. Value chain development team + research partners We propose an integrated value-chain approach for focused impact... The approach: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact

4. Strategic CRP 3.7 Cross-cutting Platforms Technology Generation Market Innovation Targeting & Impact Consumers R4D integrated to transform selected value chains for selected commodities in selected countries. Value chain development team + research partners GLOBAL RESEARCH PUBLIC GOODS INTERVENTIONS TO SCALE OUT REGIONALLY... combined with strategic cross-cutting platforms for scaling out. Major intervention with development partners Approach: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact

5. Delivering CRP3.7 Livestock + Fish Structure: Integrated research themes Technology Development: − Genetics − Feeds − Health Consumers Commodity X in Country Y Value chain development Targeting, Gender, Impact assessment Cross-cutting: M&E, communications, capacity building

6. FOCUS: 9 Target Value Chains in 8 countries PIGS AQUACULTURE SHEEP & GOATS DAIRY

7. Criteria and rationale for choosing the commodities and countries  Growth and market opportunity Huge and increasing demand for the commodity High potential to raise productivity and off-take rate in smallholder flocks  Pro-poor potential High number of poor smallholders and value chain actors involved in production Good income opportunity for women headed households  Researchable supply constraints Shortage and fluctuation of feed supply Poor animal hygiene and diseases (high lamb/kid mortality) Lack of sustainable organizational structures for breeder and producer groups Poor market infrastructure and institutional arrangements

8.  Framework for situational analysis of the respective sectors  Generic tools for rapid and in-depth VCA developed and tested for 3 commodities (dairy cattle, small ruminants and pigs)  Tools for rapid integrated assessment of food safety and nutrition ( in collaboration with CRP 4 Animal Health and Nutrition)  Strategies for partnership development and involvement – innovation systems/platforms  Strategies for outscaling developed (based on partnerships, targeting and impact assessment) Expected outputs from VCD in L&F

9.  Open access databases (NIRS equations, feeds, successes and failures in technology development, AnGR)  Tools for rapid assessment of feeding systems and feed intervention screening (FEAST and TechFit)  Diagnostic toolkit for animal diseases  Demand-driven solutions for feeding, breeding and animal health constraints identified in the VCs  Vaccine development (PPR success story)  Insights in genetics of adaptation (long-term) Expected outputs from Technology Development

10.  Formation of the Dairy Development Forum  an informal mechanism for vertical coordination of field activities and co-creating solutions at national and milk-shed levels  membership across all key public and private sector players in the dairy sector.  Situational analysis report establishing a baseline for the sector  Tools developed to identify potential interventions for improved dairy value chain performance  Review of past successes and failures in dairy development interventions  Potential interventions best bets for improved VC performance Tanzania Dairy Cattle VC outputs in 2012

11.  Toolkit for rapid VCA for sheep and goat in Ethiopia  By mid April 2013 for seven sheep and goat VC sites: Site descriptions, rapid VCA reports, draft intervention plans  Cross-cutting research issues identified and prioritized  Process of partnership development with different stakeholders  Pilot breeding programs for smallholders developed and implemented  Feeding system assessments and feed intervention screening tested at two sites Ethiopia Sheep and goat VC outputs

13.  Lack of awareness and skills on improved sheep production practices  Feed shortage in quality and quantity and lack of planting material and forage seeds  Unidentified and high incidence of disease and parasites  Shortage of Animal health service delivery (drug supply, service availability, skills)  Lack of vertical and horizontal linkages of sheep producers (missing linkage among producers and with other actors)  Seasonality of supply of sheep  Lack of supply of quality sheep: low dressing percentage, red offal often condemned due to disease and parasites Identified constraints in Atsbi sheep

14.  Joint research and intervention plans for shared sites (Atsbi sheep VC)  Joint learning across sites for sheep and goat value chains in Ethiopia and dairy cattle VC across countries (including IPMS results)  Outscaling of successful interventions developed by L & F  Joint development of technical training courses related to action research  Dialogue on pathways to impact  Joint Development of Monitoring and Evaluation Systems  Joint development of Communication strategies Expectations from LIVES (synergies)
