3. Goal
More milk, meat and fish by and for the poor
To sustainably increase the productivity of
small-scale livestock and fish systems to
increase the availability and affordability of
animal-source foods for poor consumers and,
in doing so, reduce poverty through greater
participation by the poor along the whole value
chains for animal-source foods.

4. Overview
 Partnership of 4 CGIAR Centers
 ILRI
 WorldFish
 CIAT
 ICARDA
 Officially started January 1st, 2012
 Budget $100 million for 3 years
 60% from bilateral funds

5. Big New Ideas
 Whole value chain transformation
 Multi-disciplinarity
 Saying no
 Leveraging development
 New ways of thinking about animal source foods
 Animal source foods for the poor
 Small is big
 Animals are good for the environment

7. 1.Whole value chain transformation
Needs: Multi-disciplinarity
Traditional approach was piecemeal
Past research has focused specific aspects
of given value chains, commodities and country.

8. 1. Whole Value Chain Transformation
Needs: Focus- just 9 Target Value Chains

AQUACULTURE

9. 1. Whole Value Chain Transformation
Needs: development partners for impact at scale

11. 2. New ways of thinking about animal
source food
 Animal-source foods are not appropriate targets for
research-for-development because they are luxury foods
and bad for our health.
 Small-scale production and marketing systems are
disappearing with the rapid development of large-scale
industry, trade and retail.
 Promoting livestock and aquaculture development will have
negative environmental impacts

12. Delivering CRP3.7 Livestock + Fish
Structure: Six integrated Components

13. Research Activities
 Mostly focused on delivering on pre-existing
commitments
 Engagement in Tanzania dairy and Uganda pig
value chains initiated with new funding, including
CRP4 food safety activities
 New project phase in Egypt aquaculture; new
dairy genetics work in Senegal
 Promises of IFAD/EC funding to begin value
chain work in Mali and Ethiopia
 Exploring environment and nutrition

19. Initial Research Priorities
NUTRITIONAL VALUE CHAINS
• Revise current value chain frameworks and assessments to better include
nutritional quality (and food safety)
• co-develop specific opportunities for enhancing nutritional quality for
women, infants and young children in value chains for nutrient rich foods
BIO-FORTIFICATION – HARVEST PLUS
• continue bio-fortified crop development and evaluation
• enhance delivery spillovers - new countries and commercial value chains
AGRICULTURE-ASSOCIATED DISEASES
• Food safety
• Zoonoses and emerging infectious diseases
INTEGRATED PROGRAMS AND POLICIES
• continue to strengthen program evaluation, working with partners, including
new cross-sectoral metrics and approaches
• cross-sectoral priorities and policies with key partners in SSA and South Asia

22. CRP A4NH Value Chain Master Plan
ASSUMPTIONS / HYPOTHESES
1. Nutrient dense foods on basic diets can have
important outcomes
2. Informal markets are most important and require risk-
and incentive based approaches
3. CGIAR research can work effectively at the demand
side: (pull mechanisms)
4. CGIAR research has potential for consumer education,
health
