PROBLEM STATEMENT

3. Vision
By 2023, people in Burkina Faso benefit from
inclusive, sustainable and productive sheep and
goat value chains
their sheep and goats are more productive, livestock markets
work for producers, consumers and business, there is more, more
affordable and healthier sheep and goat products, and the
livelihoods and capacities of people involved in the whole chain
are improved.

4. Objective
• The Livestock and Fish programs aims to
transform sheep and goat value chains in Burkina
Faso by developing, testing and supporting the
scaling up of integrated interventions, innovations
and technologies, for the poor by the poor.

5. Goals
• Smallholder sheep and goat producers have reliable
and consistent access to high quality inputs and
services that enhance their capacity to innovate for
increased productivity and better access to output
markets.
• All small ruminant value chains actors engage with
reliable, well-coordinated, equitable and efficient
sheep and goat marketing arrangements with
resultant improvement in capacities, household
income and livelihoods.
• Poor consumers have improved access to safe sheep
and goat meat and milk at affordable prices and
increase their per capita consumption of these
products and other ASFs.

6. Impact pathways
• Institutional innovations for reliable and consistent
access to inputs and services.
• Innovative strategies for consistent and reliable
access to and smarter and sustainable use of feed
and small ruminants genetic resources and water.
• Research for development alliances are established
for the co-construction of technological,
organizational and institutional innovations and
recommendations for more and smarter investments
in sheep and goat value chains development
• Generation of evidence for achieving impact at scale
and influencing policy.
• Innovative strategies for increasing the consumption
of animal source foods.

Raising awareness of stakeholders on the Livestock and
Fish/small ruminant research programs in Burkina Faso
Regional studies on small ruminants value
chains
UNECA/CILSS: Sen, Mali, Burk, Niger, Ivory Cost
Heifer International: Sen, Burk, Mal, Ghana

12. CGIAR is a global partnership that unites organizations engaged in research for a food secure future. The CGIAR
Research Program on Livestock and Fish aims to increase the productivity of small-scale livestock and fish systems
in sustainable ways, making meat, milk and fish more available and affordable across the developing world.
