Coordinator – TAAT Livestock Compact - ILRI
FAO-ILRI Regional Training Workshop on Proven Livestock Technologies
ILRI, Addis Ababa, 3-5 December 2018
Training Workshop and Capacity Building on Proven
Livestock Technology in Eastern Africa

Highlight
 Workshop Objectives
 FAO – Training Program
 ILRI – Program
 TAAT – Scaling proven Technologies

How the workshop meets FAO Objectives
The training will contribute to the FAO global
objectives:
• Strategic Objective (SO) 1, which aims to eradicate hunger, food
insecurity and malnutrition;
• Strategic Objective (SO) 2: Increase and improve provision of
goods and services from agriculture, forestry and fisheries in a
sustainable manner, and the Africa Regional Initiative (RI) 2 on”
Sustainable Production Intensification and Value Chain
Development”.

How the workshop meets FAO Objectives
The training will contribute to the FAO Livestock
program objectives:
Strategic Objective 4: Enable and promote livestock research and technology
generation, and capacity development, for production and productivity
enhancement at national and regional levels
Specifically this workshop seeks to contribute to increased knowledge in livestock
enterprises and related fields among various livestock value chain stakeholders,
including producers and processors, and their associations, and consumers in
general (Outcome 3)

FAO Capacity Development
Vision
Capacity is "the ability of people, organizations and society as a
whole to manage their affairs successfully". Capacity
development is "the process of unleashing, strengthening and
maintaining of such capacity“
FAO’s views on Capacity Building
Capacity development is driven by country actors, consistent with
national priorities and the local context, and anchored in national
systems and local expertise.
Capacity development needs to be undertaken in partnership with
national, regional and international players and requires long-term
interventions rather than stand-alone short-term events.

. FAO’s Capacity Development Framework
A country reaches its development goals only by strengthening its
individuals and organizations while creating an enabling policy environment
• Capacities at the three dimensions are interlinked: individuals,
organizations and the enabling environment are parts of a whole.
• Capacity development often involves enhancing the knowledge and skills
of individuals, whose work results greatly rely on the performance of the
organizations in which they work

TAAT and Feed Africa
TAAT is part of AfDB’s “Feed Africa”
Strategy, which aims to achieve major
agricultural transformation:
150m people adequately fed / 100m
people lifted out of poverty / 190m
hectares with restored productivity
TAAT supports Feed Africa by providing
needed, proven agricultural
technologies and implementation
strategies for inclusion within AfDB's
loans to Regional Member Countries.

TAAT Livestock Compact - Overview
• Poultry and Small Ruminants
Value Chains (with several sub-
components in each)
• Focus countries include
Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria, with
country operation support in a
few other countries
• Focus on scaling proven
technologies – not a research
program

Workshop Objectives –
Scaling Livestock Technologies
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
• Gain some knowledge of Proven Livestock Technologies.
• Acquire skills in training as trainers
• Identify training resources and opportunities

Workshop Objectives –
Scaling Livestock Technologies
By the end of the training, participants will be able
to gain:
• Knowledge:
– Know the main components of some proven Livestock
technologies.
– Learn the steps involved in implementing the
technology
– Identify the key stakeholders involved in technology
roll out.
– Recognize the commercial opportunities and key
challenges for implementing the technology.

Workshop Objectives –
Scaling Livestock Technologies
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
• Skills:
– Be able to train other Trainers who will cascade the
training to EAFF members.
– Be able to use the training resource to train Farmers.
– Demonstrate the skills required to conduct training to
others.
• Attitude:
– Appreciate the partnership landscape and key attributes
of working with partners.
– Recognize the role of stakeholder in technology upscaling
– Become proactive about scaling technology training.

Scaling-up Livestock Technologies – A
Development Imperative
Today, we have technologies that can help farmers grow more
productive crops and improve water management. The evidence base
is growing around a select number of technologies that—if taken to
scale— can impact tens of millions of lives. But those technologies are
not reaching nearly enough farmers.
Tom Hobgood’s comments in Dar – “something isn’t right…..”
What is Scaling up?
Scaling up means expanding, adapting and sustaining successful
policies, programs and projects in different places and over time to
reach a greater number of people (quoted in Hartmann and Linn,
2008).

Diverse Livestock Technologies
Alternative protein sources – Moringa, Urea treated hay
Feed conservation – Hay, Silage
Concentrates
Combo vaccines & health products (PPR-SGP, ND-Fowl pox etc.
Thermo-tolerant vaccines
Maize for food and feed
Energy Biogas

Scaling-up Livestock Technologies – An
Imperative
ILRI: Established the Impact@Scale Program to
promotes increased use of Proven technologies.
AfDB – TAAT Program
Other institutions – IFPRI, IFAD, USIAD, etc.

Scaling-up Process

Scaling-up Process

Lessons in scaling up - IFPRI Policy Briefs
Lesson #1
Actors: Multiplicity at multiple levels; requires multi-
stakeholder alliances
Dimensions: Horizontal and vertical scaling up usually go
hand in hand
Pathways: Dynamic, Needs Time; requires long-term
engagement with a vision of scale.
Systematic planning, management, learning, ready to take
opportunities. Consider drivers and constraints or enabling
factors (spaces)

Lessons in scaling up - IFPRI Policy Briefs
Lesson #2
Drivers:
The agricultural technology (idea, model, innovation,
Research)
Champions (individuals, groups)
Demand Driven (Private sector, market, communities)
Incentives ($$$$ profit, property rights, competitions,
institutional accountability)
Local initiative, External support

Lessons in scaling up - IFPRI Policy Briefs
Lesson #3
Spaces/enabling conditions:
Institutions: Public, private – engaged, coordinated & aligned from
onset; rivalries to be avoided/managed.
National Development Agenda: Clear, well articulated, funded and
sustained.
Policies: supportive laws and regulations: property rights, business
environment, trade policies, micro finance laws and regulations.
Fiscal and financial: Are $$$$$ equitably distributed along value
chains? fiscal/financial viability at larger scale and beyond donor
support; budget commitments

Lessons in scaling up - IFPRI Policy Briefs
Lesson #4
Spaces/enabling conditions:
Cultural/social: local cultures often opportunity/constraint; varies
across communities/regions/countries; role of women critical
opportunity or constraint.
Environment: Sustainable, Eco-friendly.
Partnership: Win-win strategy, compromise, harmonized goals,
national and international partners from onset.
Learning: M&E for internal and external knowledge; adapt M&E to
scaling up agenda (not only impact, but also drivers, spaces, etc.).
