This presentation focuses on the opportunities in livestock and fish farming for smallholders in Ethiopia. It discusses the high demand for animal-source foods and the potential for smallholders to increase their incomes by meeting this demand. The program aims to sustainably improve productivity in small-scale livestock and fish systems, making animal-source foods more accessible to poor consumers and reducing poverty. By closing productivity gaps and implementing targeted research for development, the program seeks to enhance value chains and create big opportunities for the poor.

More milk, meat, and fishby and for the poor CGIAR Research Program 3.7 Presented to the Ethiopian Small Ruminant Value Chain Consultative Meeting with Regional partners Addis Abeba, Ethiopia 6 August 2012
Why Livestock and fish? High demandThe increasing demand for animal-source foods in developing countries is a big opportunity for smallholders, who can raise their incomes by meeting that rising demand. Highly nutritiousAnimal-source foods are critical for malnourished people, especially women and children. Highest valueMeat, milk and fish are generally the highest value agricultural products globally. = big opportunities for the poor
Big productivity/efficiency gaps can be closed Current livestock productivity gaps are huge: Up to 130% in beef, 430% in milk and potential gains in aquaculture are over 300%. Reducing livestock productivity gaps within the developing world will improve supplies and returns - while reducing the amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced per unit of livestock output.
CRP Livestock & fish:Goal More milk, meat and fish by and for the poor • To sustainably increase the productivity of • small-scale livestock and fish systems • increase the availability and affordability • of animal-source foods for poor consumers and, • reduce poverty through greater participation by the poor along the whole value chains for animal-source foods.
The program -- CRP Livestock & fish More milk, meat and fish by and for the poor • A combination of focused research components and cross cutting integrative processes. Research component • More upstream, globally relevant research and • Targeted research for development designed to • address the particular development challenges of a set • of priority livestock and fish systems with tailored science • based solutions.
The program -- CRP Livestock & fish More milk, meat and fish by and for the poor Cross cutting integrative processes • Joint learning, planning and outcome feedback processes • needed to ensure that research priorities match the • needs of beneficiaries, and • Most important interventions are evaluated and grounded in real • world settings with partners.
The approach in the past! Traditional approach was piecemeal. Past research has been conducted only on specific aspectsof a given value chain for a given commodity in a given country. ...in Country A ...in Country B ...in Country C Consumers Consumers Consumers Consumers ...in Country D
The new approach: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact We propose an integrated value-chain approach for focused impact . . . R4D integrated to transform selected value chains for selected commodities in selected countries. Value chain development team + research partners Consumers

Partnership- Mr KEY!! Partnership -- Integrated into CGIAR-CRPs core business • Service: Serve the needs of key partners (capacity building, skill development, resource mobilization etc) • Support: Provide various but more support to partners Communication: Move beyond informing to engagement
CRP 3.7 partnerships for impacts: The give and take Development investors provide money, influence, advocacyget better bang for their bucks, better-targeted impacts. Livestock/fish researchers – international and nationalprovide evidence, capacity buildingget co-development of new science. Multinational agenciesprovide policies, advocacy, means to scale up interventionsget evidence-based knowledge. Development partnersprovide relevance, reality checks, expertiseget practical science for real development.
Partnership- Mr KEY!! “What we need to do is learn to work in the system, by which I mean that everybody, every team, every platform, every division, every component is there not for individual competitive profit or recognition, but for contribution to the system as a whole on a win-win basis.” Edwards Deming
