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.

Funding overview
• Relatively small central funds (grant), with much larger country
program (loan) operations.
• Central funds spread across 9 compacts and 6 enablers,
operating across 27 countries
• Central funds meant as ‘showcase’ to catalyze investments, and
link to actors whose activities are aligned

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

Livestock Compact – key activities
(poultry)
• Advise regulatory authorities on implementation of
enabling regulations for poultry
• Establish synergy between the compact and other
initiatives such as the ACGG initiative
• Network actors to create opportunities in the poultry
sector for youth/woman led agribusinesses (business
incubators)
• Upscaling of productive & adaptive chicken (genetically
improved, brooded and vaccinated)

Expectations
• We’re here to unleash the
‘Regional Technology Delivery
Infrastructure’ for poultry in
Ethiopia
• Looking for ‘quick wins’, scaling
results in 2018
• Explore how best to do this
together – in all regions of
Ethiopia, and beyond in other
countries in the region.
