DESCRIPTION
Poster prepared by ILRI, 20 May 2013TRANSCRIPT
• Needs-based capacity building of extension agents and producers on small ruminant management (input supply and production)
• Animal health (input supply and production): • Feeding (input supply and production) • Organization/institutional Interventions related to marketing • Capacity building on transport, slaughtering, safe preparation and handling of
animal source foods

Ethiopia small ruminant value chain development
Key actors and partners EIAR, regional agricultural research
institutes, ministries of agriculture,
regional livestock agencies, district
cooperatives, NVI, EMDTI, Export
abattoirs, FAO, Farm Africa, PCDP,
LIVES, AGP-LMD, PRIME
Our vision: In 2020 we see poor men and women in Ethiopia enjoying increased levels of production, income and nutritious consumption from effective development of sustainable small ruminant value chains.
Major outputs • Potential areas for intervention in small ruminant
value chains identified and characterized • Reviews and analysis of the smallholder small
ruminant sector in Ethiopia • A complete set of VCA tools available through the
wiki • Peer-reviewed Rapid VCA reports for small
ruminant value chains • Compendia of prioritized, potential interventions in
the small ruminant value chains for target sites • Tools to support genetic interventions, such as
breeding guidelines, training manuals, data management and feedback systems
THE CORE
PROBLEM
THE
CAUSES
Insufficient feed resources (climate
and land availability)
Poorly developed
markets
Lack of effective
policies and institutions
Feed shortage and/or
utilization
Lack of research and technology
transfer
WHOLE VALUE CHAIN
INPUTS & SERVICES
PRODUCTION MARKETING PROCESSING CONSUMPTION
High morbidity
and mortality
High market prices Low income of VC actors Food insecurity
Malnutrition Hidden hunger Poverty THE IMPACT
Degradation of resource
base
Lack of knowledge and skills in SR management
Poor performance of sheep and goat value chains
ASF quality and safety
Inadequate input supplies
Weak linkages between producers
and markets
Disease pressure
