Value chain interventions in the LIVES zones Dirk Hoekstra LIVES Familiarization Workshop Rift Valley Hotel, Adama, April 22-24, 2013

Outline The value chain implementation process – Dirk Livestock value chain interventions - Dirk Irrigated crop value chain - Philippe

Steps taken Zones and commodities selected Baseline data collected Rapid diagnostic study conducted Commodity vision and potential interventions identified during zonal stakeholder meetings

Implementation process - planning In each Zone - organize meeting with key Zonal and District officials to: – Present development intervention plan (including km and capacity development) – Identify Pilot sites to initiate production activities (PA, rural/urban, watershed, irrigation scheme, grazing area) – Identify key value chain actors for each commodity to be linked to the production sites – Introduce commodity platform concept (USE SHOULD BE MADE OF THE INFORMATION DOCUMENTED IN THE ZONAL REPORTS)

Implementation process - planning For each of the selected commodities create a platform and organize a meeting to – Review market potential/channels for the different products in a commodity – Review/agree on value chain development production sites for year1 – Review/agree PA, District, Zonal agribusinesses, input producers, community service schemes to be linked to the production intervention areas – Review /agree proposed interventions year 1

Implementation process – production interventions Coach/mentor extension staff to introduce key production interventions during the year Identify/provide demonstration materials for production interventions and/or prepare credit proposals as required Identify key topics for capacity development and organize resource persons for training as required.

Implementation process – input/service supply interventions Coach/mentor extension staff and agri -businesses to introduce input/service supply interventions Conduct rapid assessment/action planning for community based target input/services beneficiaries as required Identify/provide demonstration supplies, equipment and or prepare credit proposals to introduce input/service supply interventions Conduct capacity developments for selected input/services beneficiaries (national/regional) Create linkages between agri-businesses at District, zonal, regional and federal level

Implementation process – processing and marketing Coach/mentor extension staff and agribusinesses to introduce marketing and processing interventions Conduct rapid market assessment for selected products as required Identify/provide demonstration supplies, equipment and or prepare credit proposals to introduce marketing processing interventions Create linkages with processing and marketing businesses at regional/federal level

Implementation process monitoring and learning For selected platform members organize field visits/study tours to advanced/critical value chain nodes in and outside the Zone. Organize platform meeting/field day to review progress and learn after six month. Organize seminars to present and discuss lesson learned. Feed market oriented knowledge skills to service providers and vc actors

Livestock value chain interventions Poultry Small ruminants Large ruminants Dairy Apiculture

Poultry Two systems – Peri-urban – exotic (integrate with dairy/fattening) – Rural – local breeds (selected) Production – Use of better performing breeds (egg or broiler) – Improved management (housing, feeding, health, scale, records) Input/service supply – Hatchery, pullet production – CAHW/vaccinators – Linkages with suppliers/services, including credit institutions Processing marketing – Marketing groups – Linkages with institutional buyers

Small ruminants Production – Use of better performing animal/breeds (exotic, local) – Improved fattening practices (feeding, housing, health, scale, cluster, records) – On farm fodder production, treatment/conservation Input/service supply – Community breeding system – Breeder groups – CAHW/vaccinators – Communal grazing area management – Forage seed multiplication systems (FTCs, Private farms) – Fodder conservation/treatment services – Linkages with suppliers/service including credit institutions Processing/marketing – Marketing groups – Linkages with institutional buyers (contracts, weight)

Large ruminants Production – Use of better performing animal/breeds (exotic, local) – Improved fattening practices (feeding, housing, health, scale, cluster, records) – On farm fodder production, treatment/conservation Input/service supply – CAHW – Communal grazing area management – Forage seed multiplication systems (FTCs, Private farms) – Fodder conservation/treatment services – Linkages with suppliers/service including credit institutions Marketing processing – Marketing groups – Linkages with institutional buyers (contracts, weight) – Food safety butcheries

Dairy Two systems – Urban/peri urban fluid milk by specialized and mixed farms – Rural local butter production/sale by mixed farms Production – Use of improved breeds – Improved animal management (housing, feeding, health, fertility mngt) – On farm fodder production, treatment, conservation Input/service supply – Mass insemination system – Calf/Heifer breeders – CAHW/vaccinators – Communal grazing area management – Forage seed multiplication systems (FTCs, Private farms) – Fodder conservation/treatment services – Linkages with suppliers/service including credit institutions Marketing/processing – Processing fluid milk – cooperatives, private – Processing of butter – women groups – Collection points in peri urban areas – Quality control

Apiculture Production – Improved apiculture management (housing, feed/water, health/hygiene) Input/service supply – Colony multiplication – Foundation sheet maker – Linkages with suppliers accessories/hives and credit institutions Processing/marketing – Village level processing honey – Marketing groups – Linkages with commercial processors
