Questions answered in developing country resource mobilization strategy Assessment areas Key analysis questions 1 What is the local scope and scale of the aflatoxin challenge? What are the existing government aflatoxin control measures in the country? What is required to overcome the aflatoxin challenge? What resources must be mobilized to overcome the aflatoxin challenge? Identifying actions and resource requirements The same slide will be used in each country report 2 Understanding funding landscape Who are the potential funders for aflatoxin control? Who are the priority potential funders for aflatoxin control in the country? What do we know about the prioritized funders? 3 What interventions might interest each priority funder?

8 What is required to overcome the aflatoxin problem?
Aflatoxin control activities can be characterized in terms of a four-stage cycle (“the HOW”) Solutions for aflatoxin control in [insert country] fall into four main categories (“the WHAT”) TECHNOLOGY Research and development of new technology for aflatoxin control Application of technologies for aflatoxin control in the field Use of technology to gather data about aflatoxin contamination Understand the scope of the problem and evidence about solutions Mobilize financial and human resources for solutions to identified problems The same slide will be used in each country report AWARENESS AND BAHAVIOR CHANGE Preparation of public facing information resources for key stakeholders Implementation of training and educational programs (e.g., for farmers) Public dissemination of information on aflatoxin contamination and control opportunities Incentives for market actors to change market behaviour QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE Implement solutions including programs and interventions Develop new solutions including policies, regulations and pilot programs Efforts to mainstream aflatoxin control in national policymaking Research and development to introduce new quality standards Implementation of standards and conformity assessments Capacity building throughout ecosystem for quality and conformity LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT Enactment or enhancement of bodies to oversee aflatoxin control Introduction of accountability frameworks and use of M&E tools Capacity building for leadership/mgmt. throughout lifecycle for other aflatoxin control solutions

DO NOT CIRCULATE – Work in progress DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION ONLY What would a pitch for funding to a potential funder look like? Each pitch will contain the following elements Context What is the local scope and scale of the aflatoxin challenge? What is required to overcome the aflatoxin challenge? What resources must be mobilized to overcome the aflatoxin challenge? Our understanding of what funder may be interested in Deep dive on category(ies) funder may be interested in How individual funder could help

28 Aflatoxins are toxic fungi that contaminate up to XX% of maize and XX% of groundnut in [insert country] WHAT IS AFLATOXIN? Aflatoxins are toxic fungi metabolites which contaminate staple foods Aflatoxin-producing mold can affect grain and other food crops (particularly maize and groundnuts) but can also enter livestock value chains through contaminated feed Millions of people living in Africa are exposed to high, unsafe levels of aflatoxins through their diet. Meanwhile, farmers miss out on export opportunities since their products do not meet international food safety standards IN [INSERT COUNTRY], UP TO… Information/ statistics will primarily be copied from master country deck XX% of MAIZE XX% of GROUNDNUTS … MAY BE INFECTED WITH AFLATOXIN

29 DO NOT CIRCULATE – Work in progress DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION ONLY
Aflatoxin is most common in XX and XX and low levels of awareness have made it challenging to overcome the problem What is the prevalence of aflatoxin in different regions of [insert country]? How aware are people of aflatoxin in [insert country]? Heat map indicating aflatoxin prevalence levels in different regions of the country Information/ statistics will primarily be copied from master country deck

30 [insert country] loses up to XXX USD in loss of trade, and spends XXX USD treating the health effects associated with aflatoxin AGRICULTURE [insert country] loses XXX USD due to loss of trade of aflatoxin affected agricultural commodities Major challenges include: Food insecurity and limited dietary diversity Economic losses and barriers to trade Information/ statistics will primarily be copied from master country deck HEALTH [insert country] spends approximately XXX USD treating the health effects associated with aflatoxin Major challenges include: Poisoning (i.e., aflatoxicosis) and death Increased liver cancer risk, particularly for hepatitis B virus (HBV) positive populations Child stunting Immune suppression and greater susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis, and malarial infection

31 What is required to overcome the aflatoxin problem?
Aflatoxin control activities can be characterized in terms of a four-stage cycle Solutions for aflatoxin control in [insert country] fall into four main categories TECHNOLOGY Research and development of new physical or biological technology Implementation of new physical or biological technology Understand the scope of the problem Mobilize financial and human resources AWARENESS AND BAHAVIOR CHANGE The same slide will be used in each country report Research and development of public facing information resources for different stakeholders Information dissemination and capacity building QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE Research and development of policies and regulations to monitor and control aflatoxin Implementation of policies and regulations Implement programs and interventions Develop policies, regulations and pilot programs LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT Mobilization of financial resources Mobilization of human resources (eg. equipping new regulatory bodies)

32 Based on your current intervention areas in Tanzania and globally, we think you may be interested in XXX Awareness and Behavioral Change Promote dietary diversification as one of the measures to minimize aflatoxin exposure Include aflatoxin related aspects in agriculture and health subjects taught at primary and secondary schools Build capacity of teachers on aflatoxin knowledge and communication Review curricula for undergraduate and graduate programs on agriculture and health to incorporate components of aflatoxin prevention and control Leadership and management XXX XXX current intervention areas Eg. Maternal and child health Eg. Nutrition and food security Xxx Country teams to create version of this slide based on understanding of the funder

33 Why is awareness and behavioral change important
An awareness and behavioral change intervention would achieve XXX impact Why is awareness and behavioral change important Impact spotlight: XXX XXX For intervention XXX – you could expect to see Chart outlining USD spent for: Agricultural impact Health impact Trade/economic impact What are some of the priority intervention areas a funder could contribute to XXXX Will be created as part of business action plan and customized for each priority funder Source: Expert interviews, Dalberg analysis

34 How can you help? NEXT STEPS E.g.
Objective Outcome Resource requirement E.g. Improve regulations and procedures for product withdrawal, including alternative uses for contaminated food E.g. The Treatment and Disposal of Unfit food regulations being enforced by TFDA, reviewed to provide for specific regulations on disposal and treatment of aflatoxin contaminated food As in action plan NEXT STEPS E.g. PACA team to create document with additional information based on discussion today Refined document will include further elaboration of key intervention areas where you expressed an interest and associated impact/USD
