What+we+would+like+Tanzania+to+contribute+to+L&F+outputs+in+2014

Ø // Breeding // : Develop areas of contribution Ø // Feeds: // MilkIT did quite a bit. How much of it can we use? Institutional innovations e.g. hubs approach Ø // Diseases: // Seems not to be an issue but need to explore more. Ø // Food safety: // What does it mean at hub level? Ø // Capacity development: // How does it interact in each area?
 * The MoreMilkIT has pioneered value chain because it got activities already going. However, there is need to improve integration, synergies and results.
 * First two years were to get things going. Now consider analyzing implications?
 * Activities are to design the ideal intervention to roll out an intervention to the rest of Tanzania, provide evidence of a model that works and one that development partners can pick up and use elsewhere.
 * DDF is good in communicating with stakeholders. It gives a stage to stimulate discussion on risks, advantages etc. Will need good strategies to show on stage.
 * Value chain assessment has already been done. The tools were a bit fragmented and not cohesive. Need to review them and refine them based on the in-depth assessment.
 * Looking at the different themes and their contribution:


 * // Action point: Amos to coordinate all these activities so that they benefit each other for joint analysis and the common goal of our work. //**


 * There is need to address how the findings from each one could be used in other issues **

Two years already been spent in assessment, next 2 years to be spent in testing best bets. By that time all the basic elements of the intervention should be in place ||
 * ** Question ** || ** Answer ** ||
 * What’s the timeframe? || * Six years.
 * Can we consider alternative hypotheses? E.g. CGP and dairy goats for household food security? || * Mandate of the CRP is to generate more food supply for the community and urban poor. The mandate is rather national, that is, provide food security.
 * Dairy goats would fit if it was the only way to increase milk production or maybe a better situation from a nutritional perspective.
 * A gap exists in consumption and nutrition; there is need to look at consumption patterns as a source of revenue. In Tanzania with the huge population growth and all towns becoming cities, there will be a shift towards dairy products. This is happening already in Dare salaam where people want dairies. Evidence of this shift need to strengthening. ||
 * How do we share all the information available? E.g. if you work on the genetic component this would have impact on feed? || · We are not coming in with ‘we have one intervention’, but with ‘an urban, peri-urban and rural so a range of intensification as a function of the economic opportunity demand’…we expect even the breeding to be correlated to this range and intensification  ||
