This document discusses various programs that integrate village savings and loans associations (VSLAs) and market engagement approaches to promote financial inclusion and poverty reduction. It provides examples from CARE programs in Ethiopia and Bangladesh, including the Productive Safety Net Project Plus in Ethiopia and the Strengthening Dairy Value Chain project in Bangladesh. Both programs use VSLAs and aim to link smallholders to input and output markets through activities like business skills training, market access, and value chain development to help households graduate from poverty and food insecurity. The continuum of experience moves from basic financial inclusion and savings to more integrated approaches combining VSLAs, enterprise development, and market systems work.

This document discusses the development of mobile broadband in Tanzania. It provides background on Tanzania's demographics and telecommunications statistics. It then covers the various mobile broadband services and technologies available in Tanzania, noting the main operators and the standards they use (GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, etc.). It also discusses some of the operational challenges in deploying mobile broadband across Tanzania given the differences between urban and rural areas in terms of population density, terrain, and other factors.
The document summarizes a dairy development project in Ethiopia funded by USAID/PEPFAR and implemented by Land O'Lakes over 5 years. The project aims to build a competitive dairy industry through private investment to generate income for smallholders and provide quality dairy products. It does this through activities focused on improving efficiency and quality, stimulating business development, and strengthening market linkages. Major activities included training farmers, forming cooperatives, improving animal health and feed, and supporting profitable small businesses along the dairy value chain. The project also conducted research finding consumers prefer raw milk and had low awareness of pasteurization. It provides recommendations to strengthen collaboration and encourage women's participation.

This document summarizes a presentation about a project called the East Africa Dairy Development (EADD) project. The EADD project aims to transform the lives of smallholder dairy farmers in East Africa by doubling their household dairy incomes over 10 years. It has mobilized over 160,000 farmers in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda into cooperative groups. Through these groups, farmers have gained access to markets, inputs, and technical assistance. As a result, farmer incomes have increased by 150-754% depending on the country. The project establishes "Dairy Hubs" which are centers that connect farmers to buyers, inputs, financial services and more in a way that creates a virtuous cycle for all.

This document discusses a project to help smallholder dairy farmers in Tanzania by adapting dairy market hubs. The project will assess the current dairy sector, identify ways to promote pro-poor development, and pilot interventions over 5 years. During the first inception year, the project will assess the sector, develop a strategy to strengthen policies supporting smallholders, and identify sites to pilot best practices adapted to Tanzania. The goal is to make the dairy sector more inclusive of the rural poor through market access and organizational options.

Tanzania Livestock Master Plan: Milk results for the Sector Analysis (2016-...ILRI
This document summarizes the key findings from the Tanzania Livestock Master Plan regarding interventions to increase milk production from 2016-2031. The plan assessed potential interventions against Ethiopia's national development goals, focusing on reducing poverty, achieving food security, economic growth, exports, and employment. Modeling showed that improving family and specialized commercial dairy systems could achieve high returns on investment and meet national goals. However, there is projected to be a huge milk deficit due to limited animal feed and genetics as well as a lack of supportive policies and investment incentives. The document recommends prioritizing investments in crossbred dairy genetics, smallholder feeding models, animal health, incentives for smallholder milk production and processing, and policies supporting investments in feed production

The document summarizes the goals and approach of the CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish, which aims to sustainably increase the productivity of small-scale livestock and aquaculture systems to provide more animal-source foods for poor consumers and reduce poverty. The program will focus on whole value chains in targeted commodities and countries by working directly with development partners on strategic interventions to achieve impact at scale. It will address productivity gaps, engage stakeholders along the value chains, and generate global public goods through cross-cutting research platforms. The goal is for more meat, milk and fish to be produced by and for the poor.
The document summarizes a livestock livelihood program in the West Bank that supported over 4,000 households between 2006-2016. The program provided technical services through partners to enhance access to resources, empower women economically, develop value chains and markets. Key achievements included maintaining livelihood security for over 70% of herders and strengthening the lead partner as a service provider. However, success was constrained by Israeli restrictions and an emergency funding focus from donors. In the future, more sustainability-focused activities, gender analysis and advocacy are recommended.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

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.

11. 1. More milk in Tanzania (Irish Aid)
To be implemented by ILRI and SUA
12. More milk in Tanzania Project
More milk by and for the poor: Adapting dairy market hubs
for pro-poor smallholder value chains in Tanzania
• Inception year for research (USD 450,000 for 2012)
• Dairy VC R&D engagement for 4 yrs thereafter
• Strong focus on pro-poor marginalised pre-commercial
men and women
• Aim is to provide proof-of-concept that such
marginalised groups can also be targeted successfully
• Project to generate evidence for influencing policy
• Detailed objectives in brochure
(http://mahider.ilri.org/handle/10568/16567)
13. More Milk in Tanzania Project
Objectives
(derived from Irish Aid Country Strategy Paper for Tanzania)
Goal:
• Inclusive growth and reduced poverty and
vulnerability among dairy-dependent livelihoods in
relevant rural areas in Tanzania
Outcome:
• Rural poor are more income secure through
enhanced access to demand-led dairy market
business services and viable organisational options,
and low-income consumers have better access to
affordable milk.
14. More Milk in Tanzania Project
Contributing Objectives over 5 yrs
1. Inform policy on appropriate role for pro-poor
smallholder-based informal sector value chains in
dairy sector development
2. Generate and communicate evidence on business and
organizational options for increasing participation of
resource-poor male and female households in dairy
value chains
3. Develop scalable value chains approaches with
improved organization and institutions serving
resource-poor male and female smallholder dairy
households
15. More Milk in Tanzania Project
Contributing Objectives during 2012
Inception Phase
1. Assess the current status of the Tanzanian dairy sector
and identify appropriate entry points and partners for
promoting a more pro-poor development orientation
2. Develop a strategy for strengthening the policy
environment to better support pro-poor dairy
development, capitalizing on ongoing engagement with
key policy actors and previous successes elsewhere in
East Africa
3. Identify sites appropriate for piloting pro-poor dairy
development interventions that have been successful
elsewhere, and assess how those interventions need to
be adapted to the Tanzanian context.
