Outputs and Activities in 2014

More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project

Plans to achieve objectives: 2013-161. Develop scalable value chains approaches with improved organization and institutions

• Output 1.1 Vibrant, well organized, and sustainable DMHs delivering demand-led inputs and services developed (Led by Heifer & Faida Mali)– Establish DMHs: – Operate the DMHs:

• Output 1.2 DMHs governance strategies strengthened through non-formal trainings (Led by Heifer and FAIDA MaLi)– Strengthening actors and their organisations

• Output 1.3 DMHs assessments undertaken and used for improving the performance of dairy value chains – DMHs assessments (e.g., adapting and applying stage-gating tool) - serving

development pilot in real-time

Targeting 30 villages with 4800 cattle keepers across 4 districts:


Plans to achieve objectives: 2013-162. Generate and communicate evidence on business and organizational options

• Output 2.1 DMHs act as platforms for generating and communicating evidence on business and organisational options for increased participation of resource poor men and women in the dairy value chains

– Targeted research: serving development pilot in real-time– Gender analysis and gender mainstreaming of DMHs

• Output 2.2 Value chain governance strategies strengthened to generate, package, and communicate information critical to DHMs rollout

– Improving quality assurance services and communication

• Output 2.3 Evidence of DMHs as viable and sustainable dairy value chain development models generated and communicated

– Assessment of the efficiency of integrating small-scale informal value chain into the formal and development of scaling out strategies

– Delivery of learning products - serving development pilot in real-time


Plans to achieve objectives: 2013-163. Inform policy on appropriate role for pro-poor smallholder-based informal sector value chains in dairy sector development

• Output 3.1 Lessons for sustainable value chain development through evidence-based research, monitoring and evaluation, and recommendations for scaling out developed and disseminated

– Generation and communication of evidence and lessons– Advocacy– Final evaluation

Cross-cutting Monitoring, Learning and Evaluation framework


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.

Piloting of adapted hubs to be main focus in 2013-16


DMH category Criteria for becoming a DMH

a): Collective bulking and sale of milk by members of a farmers group

Farmers group i) is registered at district level

ii) has at least 1 link with a milk trader/ buyer and at least 1 link with an input & services provider

iii) members are able to access inputs & services on check off system

b) and c): Individual members of a farmers group sell milk and/or cattle directly to traders

Farmers group

i) is registered at district level ii) members are able to access inputs & services on check off

system

Criteria for becoming a dairy market hub defined

Hub for provision of inputs and services on credit without collective bulking and marketing

• Monitoring, learning and evaluation (MLE) framework for pilot projects developed; 1st monitoring survey soon

• Several targeted research activities and ex-ante assessment of interventions initiated, some through students

Impact pathway and MLE framework developed


• Most findings re-affirm VCA findings, with figures

• Commercialising the marginalised will mostly be about feed, less so other constraints!

Baseline (benchmark) results available

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