Background and Premise • Tanzania’s GDP growth over the last decade has
barely impacted the poor
• Research solutions helping to attract more investments to transform the smallholder dairy sector over 10 yrs
• Smallholder dairy VC R&D engagement since 2012: assessments and action research on pilots of integrated interventions by development partners
• Strong focus on pro-poor marginalised pre-commercial men and women
• Proven concept on targeting marginalised groups taken to scale
THE
EFFECTS
THE CAUSES Poor access to veterinary
services
Poor quality feeds / feeding
practices
Poor disease control
programs
Low capacity to extend technical knowledge and
information
WHOLE VALUE CHAIN WITH DOWNSTREAM EMPHASIS
INPUTS & SERVICES PRODUCTION MARKETING CONSUMPTION
1. Low productivity
2. Poor access to production and market inputs and services
Poor nutrition Food insecurity / hidden hungerPovertyTHE IMPACT
Inconsistent access to water/
seasonality
1. Cattle keepers’ have low capacity to innovate, manage risk, reduce vulnerability, increase incomes, and ensure food security.
2. The sector is starved of appropriate credit facilities that can finance acquisition of basic inputs and services.
3. Low investment in productivity improving innovations has perpetuated a low-input low-output vicious cycle.
INTERVENTION
AREAS
small-scale nature of the production systems
Low genetic
potential
Problem statement
Lack of appropriate organizational approaches
few and poorly linked BDS providers
Low access inputs and services
ASSOCIATED
WITH
More milk, income, assets and better health & Nutrition
Vision: an inclusive and sustainable development of the dairy value chain.
Long term goals
How to get there… (impact pathways – now aligned to new L&F flagships)
Strategy and Implementation Plan for value chain transformation and scaling to 2023 drafted.
Big Picture: Place of individual projects in
‘Maziwa Zaidi’
Aiming for research outputs made-to-order for immediate and future use
Key problems being addressed
1. Dominant direct sales of small volumes by smallholder producers that preclude economies of scale
2. Credit facilities for basic inputs and services or working capital are lacking. This discourages investment to improve productivity
3. Lack of appropriate organizational models for pre-commercial producers (complex cooperative models and technology-driven solutions have largely failed, especially applies in extensive areas)
4. Seasonality of rainfall and related effects are strong
Piloting Sites
Site selection criteria
High cattle density; High poverty level; High population density; Good access to market; High
production potential; Deficit areas with potential for increasing supply through feed interventions;
Potential partners/stakeholders.
What is unique about what we are piloting and what progress
have we made?
Dairy market hubs without collective bulking and marketing
Illustration of a dairy market hub for provision of inputs and services on pay-off arrangements where there no without collective bulking and marketing
Criteria for becoming a Dairy Market Hub
DMH Category Criteria for becoming a DMHa): 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 with or without on check-off
system
b) Individual members of a
farmers group sell milk
directly to traders
How many of each hub category?
DMH category Morogoro Tanga Total
a Chilling plant 0 2 2
a+b Chilling plant and milk
traders
6 6 12
b Milk traders 8 8 16
Total 14 16 30
Aim: Develop these into vibrant, well organized and sustainable DMHs delivering demand-led inputs and services
Some lessons in facilitating change
1. How to adapt the concept of dairy market hubs to the specific needs of the heterogeneous farmer groups
2. Farmer groups have ‘blueprints’ for organizational development that they own: includes what Maziwa Zaidi can address and what the groups will pursue by themselves.
3. SSPs domesticated dairy market hubs interventions linking traders and BDS providers to improve access to inputs & services (on check-off arrangements) in some villages
4. Desired flexibility in capacity development 5. It will take longer time to initiate "CHECK OFF and B2B" in some
remote villages because of few inputs and services providers 6. Overlapping roles and functions between ‘farmer group’ and
‘innovation platform’ in one or more villages has made us re-think what multi-stakeholder processes are required at each level
Some lessons in facilitating change (cont’d)
7. ‘Rumours’ about handouts by Maziwa Zaidi8. More demand for training than we can afford given limit of 30
farmers per group9. District Community Development Departments interacting with the
groups on various development activities 10. Providing training closer to where farmers come from encourages
more women to participate11. DDF is valued for sharing information, but need to re-emphasize its
role as an informal yet structured space for addressing common challenges, to network, jointly advocate for changes in policy, and that it is a joint effort where active participation is required to achieve its intended goals.
Towards a More Inclusive Dairy Development in Tanzania
4rd Dairy Development Forum (DDF) Meeting
Co-hosted by Tanzania Dairy Board (TDB) – DDF Secretariat

What you will hear at the meeting…..• Follow up to the agenda set at the last DDF including
o Update on progress made by task forces addressing issues around arrangements for multiplication and delivery of dairy genetics
o Issues to address in order to achieve year round availability of quality feeds
On 6th & 7th October 2014 at Giraffe Ocean View Hotel, Dar es Salaam
Objectives of the 4rd DDF
To continue to address the agenda on :
(i) Strategies for expanding the national dairy herd:
• On 6th October 2014: Task forces formed at the last DDF meet in respective groups to advance their agenda
(i) Business solutions for year round availability of quality feeds:
• On 7th October 2014: Following a scene setting presentation, the agenda on improving access to feeds, forages and related services will be addressed
What we expect from you….• Participation in facilitated sessions to continue to co-create solutions
• How you have been or will contribute to generating solutions (e.g., by joining re-constituted or new task forces)
