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.
Using the Strengthening the Dairy Value Chain project in Bangladesh, CARE makes the business case for why empowering women farmers is not only essential for improving social and economic outcomes but an effective way to strengthen supply chains.

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agricultural Development, Government of Nepal, and Institute for Integrated Development Studies (IIDS), and Federation of the Nepal Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), organized a two day workshop on ‘Best Practices in Contract Farming: Challenges and Opportunities in Nepal’ on 10-11 February 2015 in Kathmandu, Nepal.
IFPRI is engaged in Policy Reform Initiative in Nepal with overall goal to reform agriculture sector for accelerating agricultural growth and enhancing farm incomes. In view of large number of smallholdings in Nepal, contract farming is envisaged as one of the strategies to increase their incomes by linking them with remunerative domestic and global markets. At present, contract farming in Nepal is at its infancy and needs to be popularized. This would require enabling polices and appropriate institutional arrangements. The main aim of the workshop is to learn lessons from the best practices in neighboring countries to address the multi-faceted challenges and opportunities in promoting and up scaling pro-smallholder contract farming in Nepal.

Esta presentacion se trata del tema de micro finanza inclusiva rural y su rol en una estrategia de graduación de los programas públicos de transferencias monetarias condicionales.
Las transferencias monetarias condicionales son una características de las políticas públicas de muchos de los países de América Latina y, mientras han tenidos impactos importantes en la lucha a la pobreza y en la distribución de renda, encontrar una estrategia de salida es uno de los principales desafíos. Esta también es la situación en Perú con el programa de transferencias “Juntos”.
CARE Perú a partir del programa de inclusión financiera PUMRI (financiado por Barclays) que trabaja con las mujeres beneficiarias de Juntos , ha testado un modelo de estrategia de graduación, y que fue utilizado para hacer incidencia con el Gobierno para que adopte estrategias de graduación de la pobreza a nivel nacional.
The economic development unit held a webinar January 16th on how various country offices and individuals in CARE are developing and applying private sector engagement strategies. We heard from the PSE Director at CARE Bangladesh, the PSE Coordinator at CARE Vietnam, the PSE advisor for CARE UK, and a PSE Specialist in the Asia Regional Management Unit on their experiences, successes and the challenges of developing and implementing PSE Strategies at the country and regional levels. Some key questions the presentation addressed were: How can CARE strategically engage the private sector? Should CARE target domestic or international companies? How does CARE balance the tension between raising funds and achieving impact?
Resumen: CARE Bolivia ha desarrollado un modelo de intervención y un manual para capacitar los Gobiernos Municipales en tema de Desarrollo Económico e implementar la ley de descentralización administrativa y las competencias municipales de en el DS 28421 de una manera que sea favorable al desarrollo rural inclusivo. CARE Bolivia ha desarrollado en modelo en la región amazónica – en Pando – lo ha adaptado a la región endina en Chuquisaca, sistematizado, testado, y ahora fue formalmente avalado por el Gobierno central y está en fase piloto en dos municipios en Chuquisaca antes de ser llevado a escala.
Los temas de desarrollo ecoómico y gobernabilidad tienen importantes sinergias que CARE Bolivia está apalancandoy el modelo de CARE Bolivia está siendo mejorado para fortalecer la componente de igualdad de género.
This presentation highlights the joint effort that CARE and Practical Action have undertaken in Peru to reach the extremely poor with extension services. CARE's private sector model for technical assistance provision and Practical Action's Kamayoq model have both been highly successful and offer a strategy for reaching the poorest smallholder farmers with inputs and education to better agricultural and livestock value chains.
This presentation focuses on the role of Multi-Stakeholder Platforms (MSPs) and the importance of private sector engagement in CARE Ethiopia's GRAD program. MSPs are an innovative tool used by CARe to build relationships among all the stakeholders and develop and improve the program's interventions.
Una presentacion sobre el proyecto SDVC en Bangladesh (Cadena de Valor de los Lácteos Sustentable). Este proyecto constituye un ejemplo muy valuable de aplicación de los principios programáticos de articulación a mercados con un enfoque de cadenas de valor, y además de los impresionantes resultados en términos de números de productores alcanzados, mejoras en los ingresos y empoderamiento de las mujeres, tiene algunas metodologías y modelos de actuación innovadores y bien formalizados que pueden ser replicados o adaptados a otros contextos, incluyendo en América Latina. Por ejemplo: la red de tiendas e insumos agrícolas organizada en micro franquías, los asocios con el sector privado dentro de la cadena, las herramientas de organización y auto-monitoreo de las asociaciones de productoras/es, los sistemas de M&E, entre otros.

Almost studied USAID as well UNDP and IFC plus IDRC and CIDA
This is the Bangladeshi dairy value chain Primary producing households require inputs… in this case feed, medicine, vet services and AI They need to get their milk to market through collectors and collection systems And the market in Bangaldesh consists of an informal market – tea shops, sweet shops, restaruants, hotels, informal markets – unrefrigerated – where 90% of the milk goes And the formal market of large milk processing organizations who have networks of chilling plants, collect and pasteurize, process and package milk and milk products for sale in larger urban centres
Hot climate without village refrigeration infrastructure
Animation to circle the three SDVC has a comprehensive theory of change to improve farmer productivity, work to improve the policy environment where opportunities exist and work with private sector organizations from the bottom to the top of the value chain We can think about characterizing project outcomes as either tangible in nature – increased revenues, reduced costs, increased access to material resources and capital – or intangible. Intangible outcomes would include aspects such as increased trust, transparency and capabilities in the value chain as well as reduced risk and uncertainty. The tangibles – economic, money, resources – and the intangibles – aspects of the relationships between value chain actors and the capabilities they possess are interrelated and combine to reduce poverty in a way that recognizes its multidimensional nature. So this is one framework for understanding the role of intangibles in a value chain approach. SDVC has many interventions to overcome obstacles in the value chain, but if we want to explicitly consider where private sector engagement is central, it is in increasing access to inputs, increasing access to markets and enhancing the rules of exchange.
When we zoom in on these three critical components of value chain enhancement, in the case of the Bangladeshi dairy sector, we can see there are quite a diversity of organizations. We can differentiate them by size, as illustrated here. They are also diverse in terms of how they are formally constituted They also vary in terms of their experience working with the poor We could organize them in different ways, their experience is another helpful dimension But here we focus on size. Go through the diagram So this is a framework for understanding the various private sector actors in the value chain
In terms of HOW SDVC goes about understanding, influencing and responding to private sector motivations The general process is Acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of the value chain, and for our purposes here, the interests, mindsets and resources of various private sector actors. On the inputs and market sides. From this, an understanding of opportunity spaces is developed – where is movement and change possible. By which actors. And an understanding of what it would take to make change – what incentives or resources need to be provided With an experimental, pilot-based, learning-oriented approach SDVC then works at creating sustainable models to overcome the bottlenecks and challenges in the value chain – providing access to inputs, markets and enhancing rules of exchange. With much trial and error, learning from mistakes, feedback from value chain actors, the models that are most likely to be self-sustaining are nurtured and supported
Productivity and capacity building also includes Feed and medicine, artificial insemination etc. what we are doing with RSP, possibly in AI research and implementation of access to inputs. Say that the coloured ones was originally thought, the project later on put emphasis on the other capacity building initiative.
A small point, but USAID has been mandated by the US Congress to ensure that at least 50% of all USAID micro-enterprise funds benefit the very poor, so good to make the point that all SDVC beneficiaries are in that category.
Include total number of 24 upazillas, 494 villages
Note that some dairy producers may sell directly to traders/whole sellers or sweetshop. Sweet produced in the rural areas can find urban markets
