More milk, meat, and fish by and for the poor

1. More milk, meat, and fishby and for the poor CGIAR Research Program 3.7 Presented to the Ethiopian Small Ruminant Value Chain Consultative Meeting with Regional partners Addis Abeba, Ethiopia 6 August 2012

2. Why Livestock and fish? High demandThe increasing demand for animal-source foods in developing countries is a big opportunity for smallholders, who can raise their incomes by meeting that rising demand. Highly nutritiousAnimal-source foods are critical for malnourished people, especially women and children. Highest valueMeat, milk and fish are generally the highest value agricultural products globally. = big opportunities for the poor

3. Big productivity/efficiency gaps can be closed Current livestock productivity gaps are huge: Up to 130% in beef, 430% in milk and potential gains in aquaculture are over 300%. Reducing livestock productivity gaps within the developing world will improve supplies and returns - while reducing the amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced per unit of livestock output.

4. CRP Livestock & fish:Goal More milk, meat and fish by and for the poor • To sustainably increase the productivity of • small-scale livestock and fish systems • increase the availability and affordability • of animal-source foods for poor consumers and, • reduce poverty through greater participation by the poor along the whole value chains for animal-source foods.

5. The program -- CRP Livestock & fish More milk, meat and fish by and for the poor • A combination of focused research components and cross cutting integrative processes. Research component • More upstream, globally relevant research and • Targeted research for development designed to • address the particular development challenges of a set • of priority livestock and fish systems with tailored science • based solutions.

6. The program -- CRP Livestock & fish More milk, meat and fish by and for the poor Cross cutting integrative processes • Joint learning, planning and outcome feedback processes • needed to ensure that research priorities match the • needs of beneficiaries, and • Most important interventions are evaluated and grounded in real • world settings with partners.

7. The approach in the past! Traditional approach was piecemeal. Past research has been conducted only on specific aspectsof a given value chain for a given commodity in a given country. ...in Country A ...in Country B ...in Country C Consumers Consumers Consumers Consumers ...in Country D

8. The new approach: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact We propose an integrated value-chain approach for focused impact . . . R4D integrated to transform selected value chains for selected commodities in selected countries. Value chain development team + research partners Consumers

9. Approach: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact • . . . combined with strategic cross-cutting platforms for scaling out. R4D integrated to transform selected value chains for selected commodities in selected countries. Major intervention with development partners Value chain development team + research partners • Strategic CRP 3.7 Cross-cutting Platforms • Technology Generation • Market Innovation • Targeting & Impact Consumers INTERVENTIONS TO SCALE OUT REGIONALLY GLOBAL RESEARCH PUBLIC GOODS

10. Delivering CRP3.7 Livestock + Fish Structure: Three integrated research themes #1 Targeting - Foresight, Prioritization, Gender, Impact assessment #3 value chain development #2 Technology Development: − Genetics − Feeds − Health Commodity X in Country Y Cross-cutting: M&E, communications, capacity building Consumers

11. Working toward interventions for impact at scale Performance Target: double production in x poor households CRP3.7 Prepare intervention Scaling out Development Partners $90m Knowledge Partners $10m CRP3.7 Strategic Research $10m Time 10 years

17. Partnership- Mr KEY!! Partnership -- Integrated into CGIAR-CRPs core business • Service: Serve the needs of key partners (capacity building, skill development, resource mobilization etc) • Support: Provide various but more support to partners Communication: Move beyond informing to engagement

19. CRP 3.7 partnerships for impacts: The give and take Development investors provide money, influence, advocacyget better bang for their bucks, better-targeted impacts. Livestock/fish researchers – international and nationalprovide evidence, capacity buildingget co-development of new science. Multinational agenciesprovide policies, advocacy, means to scale up interventionsget evidence-based knowledge. Development partnersprovide relevance, reality checks, expertiseget practical science for real development.

20. Thank you very much!
