MoreMilkiT/IrishAid is delivering CRP 3.7: Activities in 2012
Output 1: Current status of the Tanzanian dairy sector assessed and appropriate entry
points and partners for promoting a more pro-poor development orientation identified
1.1 Understand policy environment: Completed: draft report available
1.2 Consult stakeholders: Completed: Major meeting on 9 Mar12 in Morogoro; TSAP,
1.3 Develop and implement value chain assessment tool: Completed; but more RIA on-going
Output 2: Strategy for strengthening the policy environment for pro-poor dairying
developed
2.1 Develop a pro-poor strategy : Outcome Mapping; National Dairy Dev (DDF) Forum agreed
2.2 Improve quality assurance services: Initiated thro’ CRA with Tanzania Dairy Board (TDB)
2.3 Initiate process of strengthening of actors and their organisations: Initiated thro TDB;DDF
Output 3: Sites appropriate for piloting pro-poor dairy development interventions
identified and available best bet interventions adapted to the Tanzanian context
3.1 Develop and implement tool for site selection: Completed: GIS maps, tools,
3.2 Structured baseline surveys: On-going
3.3 Develop best bet options for pilot interventions: Draft report, Outcome Mapping
Key successes: Major IrishAid funding, integration of other projects; identification of
entry points; and, DDF formation
