  1. MaziwaZaidi updates Amos Omore MilkiT Coordination Meeting 22 Jan 2014, Morogoro, Tanzania

  2. What is ‘MaziwaZaidi’? Coined to domesticate CGIAR Livestock and Fish (LaF) Program in Tanzania It’s a dream for pro-poor transformation of the Tanzania dairy VC over the next decade++ that is not ‘yet’ fully funded The impact pathway for Tanzania dairy VC defines how to get there Seeks to enrol/get buy-in by non-LaFdairy R&D partners for greater synergy

  3. What is ‘MaziwaZaidi’? • Individual projects help us to achieve ‘MaziwaZaidi’ but they are not singly • Other rationle: • Reduce confusion among stakeholders regarding which projects they are collaborating with, • Encourage synergy among collaborating projects, • Rally value chain research and development partners towards a shared purpose.

  4. What is ‘MaziwaZaidi’? ‘MaziwaZaidi’ projects so far:

  5. What is ‘MaziwaZaidi’? ‘MaziwaZaidi’ projects proposals/pipeline

  6. Place of LaF R4D in ‘MaziwaZaidi’ • More milk, income, assets and better health & Nutrition thro’ • access to quality inputs and services • access to reliable, well-coordinated, marketing arrangement • access to quality, safe and nutritious products at affordable prices MaziwaZaidi planning Scaling out development partnerships (e.g., EADD2? + +) Scaling out development partnerships (e.g., EADD2) Research & piloting partnerships (e.g., MoreMilkiT, MilkiT; SFFF2; new proposals) MaziwaZaidi Strategic Research Time 10 years

  7. Highlights of progress of Flagship Project (More MilkiT) and other integrated projects

  8. More Milk in Tanzania Project Objectives (derived from Irish Aid Country Strategy Paper for Tanzania and ASDS) Goal: Inclusive growth and reduced poverty and vulnerability among dairy-dependent livelihoods in relevant rural areas in Tanzania Outcome: Rural poor are more income secure through enhanced access to demand-led dairy market business services and viable organisational options, and low-income consumers have better access to affordable milk.

  9. More Milk in Tanzania Project Contributing Objectives over 5 yrs • Develop scalable value chains approaches with improved organization and institutions serving resource-poor male and female smallholder dairy households • Generate and communicate evidence on business and organizational options for increasing participation of resource-poor male and female households in dairy value chains • Inform policy on appropriate role for pro-poor smallholder-based informal sector value chains in dairy sector development

  10. More Milk in Tanzania Project Addressing 4 inter-related problems that face resource-poor milk producers • Dominant direct sales of small volumes by smallholder producers that preclude economies of scale • Credit facilities for basic inputs and services or working capital are lacking. This discourages investment to improve productivity • Lack of appropriate organizational models for pre-commercial producers(complexcooperative models and technology-driven solutions have largely failed) • Seasonality of rainfall and related effects are strong (with MilkIT)

  11. More Milk in Tanzania Project Addressing 4 inter-related problems that face resource-poor milk producers • Dominant direct sales of small volumes by smallholder producers that preclude economies of scale • Credit facilities for basic inputs and services or working capital are lacking. This discourages investment to improve productivity • Lack of appropriate organizational models for pre-commercial producers (complex cooperative models and technology-driven solutions have largely failed) • Seasonality of rainfall and related effects are strong (with MilkIT) Women participate more in milk related tasks

  12. More Milk in Tanzania Project Addressing 4 inter-related problems that face resource-poor milk producers • Dominant direct sales of small volumes by smallholder producers that preclude economies of scale • Credit facilities for basic inputs and services or working capital are lacking. This discourages investment to improve productivity • Lack of appropriate organizational models for pre-commercial producers (complex cooperative models and technology-driven solutions have largely failed) • Seasonality of rainfall and related effects are strong (with MilkIT) Milk processing in Tanzania has been declining since 1990

This discourages investment to improve productivity • Lack of appropriate organizational models for pre-commercial producers (complex cooperative models and technology-driven solutions have largely failed) • Seasonality of rainfall and related effects are strong (with MilkIT)

  15. More Milk in Tanzania Project Farmer groups are struggling in most places except in Tanga

  16. Key messages on identified entry points Validity of the need to focus attention on ‘growing’ the existing informal system of milk production (with zebu cattle) and marketing to extend the frontiers of commercial dairying Organizational models to achieve economies of scale for access to inputs and services required to unleash incentives for raised productivity to levels that will justify bulking This is riskier than classical approaches but more inclusive in ensuring wider impact on marginalised Policy support for pro-poor shift needed

  17. Identified field sites

  18. Hubs for piloting in the Tanzania context Dairy Market Hubs (DMHs) with emphasis on improving access to inputs and services through business development services (BDS) and check-off arrangements: a) DMHs revolving around chilling plants or accessing them (if under-utilized) through transport arrangements that provide both outputs marketing and inputs and services through check-offs; b) DMHs revolving around check-offs for inputs and services provided through milk traders; and c) DMHs revolving around check-offs for inputs and services provided through cattle traders.

  19. Illustration of a hub for provision of inputs and services on credit without collective bulking and marketing Producers Inputs, $$ Inputs & services Milk, Cattle Check-off agreement BASIC Dairy Market Hub for Provision of Inputs and Services on Check-off Traders Milk Cattle Inputs & Service Providers (BDS) $$ Payment agreement

  20. BDS linkages in milk quality assurance in informal markets (with TDB) Milk Trader Training & certification of competence Certification/Licensing Cess fee Fee Training guides Hygienic cans Training Service Providers(BDS) Accreditation & monitoring Regulatory Authority Reporting (Trialled in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania (Arusha & Mwanza)

  21. DDF update: It is evolving and continuing to catalyze policy dialogue for a pro-poor transformation of the dairy value chain…

  22. MoreMilkiT update: R&D partnerships formed for piloting have started to mobilize value chain actors for piloting of interventions

  23. MoreMilkiT update: • Range of partnerships : • 1. Strategic Research Partnerships • SUA • TALIRI • Reinforced by CGIAR (ILRI/CIAT) and ARIs partnerships • 2. Development Partnerships • Servicing the system: Heifer and SNV • From the system: TDB, FAIDA MaLi • 3. Mechanisms for strengthening relationships • DDF • Local platforms

  24. Criteria for becoming a dairy market hub defined Hub for provision of inputs and services on credit without collective bulking and marketing

  25. Impact pathway and MLE developed Monitoring, learning and evaluation (MLE) framework) developed Several targeted research activities and ex-ante assessment of interventions initiated, some through students

  26. Baseline (benchmark) results available Most findings re-affirm VCA findings, with figures It’s mostly about feed, less so other constraints! • Dominant direct sales of small volumes by smallholder producers that preclude economies of scale • Credit facilities for basic inputs and services or working capital are lacking. This discourages investment to improve productivity • Lack of appropriate organizational models for pre-commercial producers (complex cooperative models and technology-driven solutions have largely failed) • Seasonality of rainfall and related effects are strong (with MilkIT ++)

  27. MoreMilkiT: Main Successes and challenges Successes Entry points for piloting of interventions identified, the project is now ready for take-off Early success in preparing for impact in the dairy value chain in Tanzania in the long-term through DDF and ‘MaziwaZaidi’ value chain transformation agenda Challenges Lengthy bureaucracies in reaching agreements with partners Delays in recruiting additional staff Innovating for inclusive upgrading of dairy value chains is riskier but has more potential for wider impact
