Value chain interventions in the LIVES zones
Dirk HoekstraLIVES Familiarization Workshop
Rift Valley Hotel, Adama, April 22-24, 2013
Outline
• The value chain implementation process – Dirk
• Livestock value chain interventions - Dirk
• Irrigated crop value chain - Philippe
Steps taken
• Zones and commodities selected
• Baseline data collected
• Rapid diagnostic study conducted
• Commodity vision and potential interventions identified during zonal stakeholder meetings
Implementation process - planning
•In each Zone - organize meeting with key Zonal and District officials to:– Present development intervention plan (including km and
capacity development)
– Identify Pilot sites to initiate production activities (PA, rural/urban, watershed, irrigation scheme, grazing area)
– Identify key value chain actors for each commodity to be linked to the production sites
– Introduce commodity platform concept
(USE SHOULD BE MADE OF THE INFORMATION DOCUMENTED IN THE ZONAL REPORTS)
Implementation process - planning
• For each of the selected commodities create a platform and organize a meeting to– Review market potential/channels for the
different products in a commodity– Review/agree on value chain development
production sites for year1– Review/agree PA, District, Zonal agribusinesses,
input producers, community service schemes to be linked to the production intervention areas
– Review /agree proposed interventions year 1
Implementation process – production interventions
• Coach/mentor extension staff to introduce key production interventions during the year
• Identify/provide demonstration materials for production interventions and/or prepare credit proposals as required
• Identify key topics for capacity development and organize resource persons for training as required.
Implementation process – input/service supply interventions
•Coach/mentor extension staff and agri -businesses to introduce input/service supply interventions
•Conduct rapid assessment/action planning for community based target input/services beneficiaries as required
•Identify/provide demonstration supplies, equipment and or prepare credit proposals to introduce input/service supply interventions
•Conduct capacity developments for selected input/services beneficiaries (national/regional)
• Create linkages between agri-businesses at District, zonal, regional and federal level
Implementation process – processing and marketing
• Coach/mentor extension staff and agribusinesses to introduce marketing and processing interventions
• Conduct rapid market assessment for selected products as required
• Identify/provide demonstration supplies, equipment and or prepare credit proposals to introduce marketing processing interventions
• Create linkages with processing and marketing businesses at regional/federal level
Implementation process monitoring and learning
• For selected platform members organize field visits/study tours to advanced/critical value chain nodes in and outside the Zone.
• Organize platform meeting/field day to review progress and learn after six month.
• Organize seminars to present and discuss lesson learned.
• Feed market oriented knowledge skills to service providers and vc actors
Livestock value chain interventions
• Poultry
• Small ruminants
• Large ruminants
• Dairy
• Apiculture
Poultry
• Two systems – Peri-urban – exotic (integrate with dairy/fattening)– Rural – local breeds (selected)
• Production– Use of better performing breeds (egg or broiler)– Improved management (housing, feeding, health, scale, records)
• Input/service supply– Hatchery, pullet production– CAHW/vaccinators– Linkages with suppliers/services, including credit institutions
• Processing marketing– Marketing groups– Linkages with institutional buyers
Small ruminants
• Production– Use of better performing animal/breeds (exotic, local)– Improved fattening practices (feeding, housing, health, scale, cluster, records)– On farm fodder production, treatment/conservation
• Input/service supply– Community breeding system– Breeder groups– CAHW/vaccinators– Communal grazing area management– Forage seed multiplication systems (FTCs, Private farms)– Fodder conservation/treatment services – Linkages with suppliers/service including credit institutions
• Processing/marketing– Marketing groups– Linkages with institutional buyers (contracts, weight)
Large ruminants
• Production– Use of better performing animal/breeds (exotic, local)– Improved fattening practices (feeding, housing, health, scale, cluster, records)– On farm fodder production, treatment/conservation
• Input/service supply – CAHW– Communal grazing area management– Forage seed multiplication systems (FTCs, Private farms)– Fodder conservation/treatment services – Linkages with suppliers/service including credit institutions
• Marketing processing– Marketing groups– Linkages with institutional buyers (contracts, weight)– Food safety butcheries
Dairy• Two systems
– Urban/peri urban fluid milk by specialized and mixed farms– Rural local butter production/sale by mixed farms
• Production– Use of improved breeds– Improved animal management (housing, feeding, health, fertility mngt)– On farm fodder production, treatment, conservation
• Input/service supply– Mass insemination system– Calf/Heifer breeders– CAHW/vaccinators– Communal grazing area management– Forage seed multiplication systems (FTCs, Private farms)– Fodder conservation/treatment services – Linkages with suppliers/service including credit institutions
• Marketing/processing– Processing fluid milk – cooperatives, private– Processing of butter – women groups– Collection points in peri urban areas– Quality control
Apiculture
• Production – Improved apiculture management (housing, feed/water,
health/hygiene)• Input/service supply
– Colony multiplication– Foundation sheet maker– Linkages with suppliers accessories/hives and credit
institutions• Processing/marketing
– Village level processing honey– Marketing groups– Linkages with commercial processors
