Flagship logic
The objective of this Flagship is to ensure that the CRP has it’s intended impact on the key sub-IDOs related to livelihoods and gender – in short ensuring that the technologies and strategies developed through the CRP translate into positive impacts on the welfare of the resource poor
We do this through an integrated approach to

Dairy hubs widely promoted as a mechanism to improve farmers’ access to input and output markets
Most development partners consider sale to processors as ‘best’ option, yet no difference at farm level between hubs that sell to processors and those that don’t
Moreover, producer organization’s efficiency level does not translate to more productive farmers
Need for development and private partners to work both at hub and farm levels
Livestock master plans have been completed or are in progress in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uzbekistan and Bihar, conducted in close consultation and participation by national ministries.
In Ethiopia the LMP informed private investment of more than USD100 million in value addition processing, including a USD75 million investment by a meat export company
Learnings from CRP L&F: Previous clusters 4 and 5 on farm-level and institutional innovation respectively were combined due to inseperability

This is also the CRP home for addressing Youth across the systems and countries in the CRP, in support of all FPs
Capacity development will build on the strong legacy of the L&F CRP. The four clusters will engage in capacity needs assessment and intervention strategies to identify gaps between existing and required competencies of both research and development partners.

Gender equity relative to their level of effort (i.e. labour) at household level in the use of, and control of income generated by, livestock related productive assets and resources, impacting 288,000 women across four countries.
Improved capacity of 1 million women and young people to participate in livestock related decision-making in five countries.
Three million poor people (men and women), in four countries, with an increase in access to more affordable, safe, and nutrient rich animal-source foods.
Innovative institutional options that improve resilience that are tested and adopted by national and international research & development partners, increasing the resilience of 356,000 rural livestock-keeping households (1.7 million individuals) in three countries.
A 15% Increase, on average in total household income from livestock-related activities, including a 25% increase, on average, in the proportion controlled by women, for 449,000 households (& 2.2 million individuals) in eight countries.
454,000 livestock keeping households (representing 2.2 million individuals, including women) increase their supply of livestock to the market by 15%, on average, in seven countries.
Policies and investment within and across four countries at local, country and regional level explicitly include pro-poor livestock mediated development, reaching 2 million livestock keepers & other value-chain actors.
