VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS - EXPERIENCE FROM EADD AND IDEAS FOR MILKIT

Ben LukuyuMilkIT Pre-inception Workshop, Nairobi24th – 25th January 2012

IMPLEMENTATIONS OF FEED INTERVENTIONS

Blanket implementation across all hubs

Hub specific feed interventions

Year 1-1.5

Year 1.5 - date

FEAST Tool

EXAMPLES OF EADD FEED VC ANALYSIS Pulverizing and use of fodder/crop

residues in selected EADD hubs Feed/Fodder marketing study in

selected EADD hubs The concentrate feed value chains in

Uganda Assessment of the forage seed

production and delivery systems in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda panned for 2012

BROAD OBJECTIVES

Provide a current understanding of the respective value chains Identification of key constraints and

opportunities Identification of key actors and potential

leverage points to bring about change (making linkages, training/developing capacity etc.)

PROCESS

Identifying key value chains that influence feed quantity and quality Baseline study Hubs specific rapid appraisals (FEAST tool) Stakeholder workshops/partner meetings

Developing methodology/approach Identifying/developing tools Planning – teams, logistics,

PROCESS

Implementation – data collection, entry & analysis

Feedback to stakeholders Sieving out key issues to follow up on

LESSONS LEARNED – PULVERIZER STUDY Identified problems/ inefficiencies with

different machines Linked the operators to local producers and

worked with them to improve the machines/for repairs

Cash flow problems Linked new operators to hubs to obtained

financing to buy machines Lack of knowledge about feed mixing

Trained operators and provided leaflets on feed mixing

LESSONS LEARNED – FODDER MARKET SURVEY

Provided information about trading of feed/fodder i.e. constraints & opportunities, types, sources, pricing

Created linkages for feed supply between deficit and production zones through hubs (within and outside EADD sites)

CONCENTRATE FEEDS VC IN UGANDA Lack of feed policy, regulation

Unqualified small scale players in the industry

Cheap and poor feed quality• Follow up

Engage stakeholders to Highlight constraints and opportunities Catalyze enactment of the feed policy Involve them in feed regulation

Working with partners to build capacity on feed rationing

SOME IDEAS FOR MILKIT

Identification of specific feed value chains that influence quantity, quality and seasonality of feeds

Need for in-depth study of each value chain/combine this with mapping of actors in the VC

Need to blend quick qualitative assessment and quantitative analysis
