2. TAAT and Feed Africa
TAAT is part of AfDB’s “Feed Africa” Strategy, which aims to achieve major agricultural transformation:
150m people adequately fed / 100m people lifted out of poverty / 190m hectares with restored productivity
TAAT supports Feed Africa by providing needed, proven agricultural technologies and implementation strategies for inclusion within AfDB's loans to Regional Member Countries.

3. TAAT Objectives

4. Fundamental Guiding Principles of TAAT
Technology
Scale
policy & regulatory environment
Partnerships & collaboration
Technology matters

5. Funding overview
Relatively small central funds (grant), with much larger country program (loan) operations.
Central funds spread across 9 compacts and 6 enablers, operating across 27 countries
Central funds meant as ‘showcase’ to catalyze investments, and link to actors whose activities are aligned

6. Livestock Compact - Overview
Poultry and Small Ruminants Value Chains (with several sub- components in each)
Focus countries include Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria, with country operation support in a few other countries
Focus on scaling proven technologies – not a research program

7. Livestock Compact – key activities (small ruminants)
Advise regulatory authorities on implementation of enabling regulations for small ruminants,
Network actors for improved forage options & efficient feeding systems, fattening enterprises and feed processors.
Promotion of business models for fattening enterprises and feed processors for small ruminants
Scaling of Improved Forage Options & Efficient Feeding Systems

8. Expectations
We’re here to unleash the ‘Regional Technology Delivery Infrastructure’ for small ruminants in Ethiopia
Looking for ‘quick wins’, scaling results in 2018
Explore how best to do this together in Ethiopia.
