Tanzania is working to transform its dairy value chain through partnerships between local and international organizations. In 2012, key accomplishments included: 1. Assessing the current dairy sector and identifying partners through stakeholder consultations and mapping. 2. Beginning to develop strategies to strengthen policies and improve quality assurance through the Tanzania Dairy Board. 3. Identifying pilot sites in Morogoro and Tanga regions for testing interventions based on baseline surveys. The document outlines ongoing and planned projects and partners for 2013, with a focus on piloting adapted hub models to strengthen the dairy value chain in a pro-poor manner.

3. 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
