Meeting Objectives
 Develop common understanding of objective and
approach
begin to define a country strategy
 Review and refine the implementation plan, including
individual roles and responsibilities, and agree on the
timetable for 2012
 Set of deliverables by Center, with level of effort
 Identify resource mobilization priorities and agree on
responsibilities
 Defined as deliverables

More milk, meat, and fish
by and for the poor
Overview

Reminder: 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.

Basic Idea: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact
Traditional approach was piecemeal
Past research has focused specific aspects
of given value chains, commodities and country.
Inputs & Services Production Processing Marketing Consumers

...in Country D

Approach: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact
Addressing the whole value chain
R4D integrated to transform selected value chains
In targeted commodities and countries.

Update on the LaF CRP
 Preliminary planning meeting held Sept 2011
 Officially started January 1st 2012
 Planning still ongoing
 Strategy logframe
 Assigning resources
 How many activities can be supported?
 Unrestricted portion fully funded (CG Fund)
 Large gap in restricted funded portion  will
require major resource mobilization effort
