NOT FOR CITATION

Process of Developing a Livestock Sector Analysis
(LSA) & Livestock Master Plan (LMP)
 Creating a LSA & LMP requires a long-term “quantitative
sector” analysis but “stakeholder” involvement is essential
 Dynamic herd and sector models are built to do the 15 year
livestock sector analysis (LSA) – baseline, projections and
foresight analysis
 The LMP process is quantitative, but consultative. Tanzanian
livestock specialists have provided data and parameters on
animal productivity, and cross-cutting issues (genetics,
health and feed)
 Stakeholders (NBS and MALF) have helped create a national
data base and model baselines
 The Technical Advisory Committee is guiding the process. It
is making technical input and helping ensure the results are
useful, realistic and relevant

LMP Formulation Process
LSIPT – Livestock Sector Investment and Policy Toolkit
(i)Preparation modules (M1 & M2)
(ii)Diagnostic Modules (M3 & M4)
(iii)Planning and Monitoring (M5 & M6)
We are now in the “Diagnostic” Stage” and
going to share with you the first baseline results

Livestock Production Zones
There are Three Livestock production zones namely;
(i)Central (Arid and Semi-Arid)
(ii)Coastal and Lake (High rainfall and
Humidity)
(iii)Highlands (High rainfall and low humidity
Criteria for typology were altitude, rainfall
and humidity patterns
