1. PROGRESS OF THE MILKIT PROJECT IN TANZANIA (July – November 2012)

2. Progress along Project Components  Component 1. Institutional Strengthening – Tanzania  Component 2. Productivity Enhancement – Tanzania  Component 3. Knowledge Sharing – Tanzania

3. Component 1. Institutional Strengthening – Tanzania 1a.Mechanisms for enhancing innovation capacity through local stakeholder platforms to address dairy value chain constraints. Identification of sites Rapid value chain assessment Institutional analysis (stakeholder assessment) Engage and/or establish regional platforms Establish site (village) platforms

4. MilkIT Interaction with Partners  Two meetings held so far  First meeting on 5 th – 6 th July 2012 in Dar es Salaam Activity plan and budgeting Agreement with partners Prior site selection  Second meeting on 26 th Oct. 2012 in Arusha Reviewing work plan Progress of the project Agree on forage germplasm establishment Project administration  Great delay in administration – letters of agreement  Release of funds to partners – only in October 2012

5. Initial Projects related to the Dairy Value Chain (DVC) in Tanzania 1. More milk in Tanzania (Irish Aid) – MoreMilkiT 2. MilkIT (IFAD) 3. Livestock Data Project (BMGF/WB) 4. SFFF (Safe Food Fare Food) 5. African Rising – Feed the Future (Not yet confirmed)

6. Process of Site Selection  ‘More meat, milk & fish’ (CRP 3.7) market channels to consider (Peri-)urban – not to be considered for MilkIT project Rural to urban Rural to rural  GIS-based spatial analysis Cattle density – high density areas Poverty – high poverty areas Population/market – high population areas Production potential – high LGP areas Surplus vs deficit areas – deficit areas where there is potential for increasing supply through feed interventions.  Range of other more qualitative criteria Complimentary to other projects (create synergies), e.g. IFAD Active partners available Proportion of improved cattle

16. Component 1. Institutional Strengthening – Tanzania 1b.Approaches for involving local stakeholders in analysis of feed-related aspects of the dairy value chain. Develop value chain tools Conduct value chain assessment Periodic market appraisals outputs/inputs 1c.Identification of intervention strategies emerging from dairy value chain analysis. Develop inventory of potential interventions (feed supply and feed use)

17. Research Activities  DVC Assessment in Morogoro and Tanga (More-MilkiT, MilkIT and SFFF July–Aug 2012 )

19. Component 1. Institutional Strengthening – Tanzania 1b.Approaches for involving local stakeholders in analysis of feed-related aspects of the dairy value chain.

Develop inventory of potential interventions (feed supply and feed use)  Fred to report some advances Inventory potential interventions Tanzania

20. Research & improvement of feeding required – situational analysis  Serious imbalance in investment into animals vs. pastures or other feeds  Great opportunity for impact, e.g. Production about 303,000 bales of hay (2010), while demand exceeds 1,000,000 bales/annum Production of compounded feedstuffs estimated 800,000 t/annum, while potential demand stands at 2.5 million t/annum About 60 feed mills not operating to optimal capacity; not equally distributed over country; providing mostly to poultry and pig farms  Opportunities and needs identified Training programs for sustainable pasture management and general animal feeds for existing farms, including renewal of all depleted pastures Introduction of supplements, especially targeting smallholders
