CGIAR Livestock and Fish Research Program: Potential Synergies with LIVES project in Ethiopia
Barbra Rischkowsky, ICARDA
LIVES Research Planning Workshop
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 26-28 March 2013
Program GoalMore 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,
To reduce poverty through greater participation by the poor along the whole value chains for animal-source foods.

R4D integrated to transform selected value chains for selected commodities in selected countries.
Value chain development team + research partners
We propose an integrated value-chain approach for focused impact . . .
The approach: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact
Strategic Cross-cutting Platforms• Technology Generation• Market Innovation• Targeting & Impact

Criteria and rationale for choosing the commodities and countries
Growth and market opportunity• Huge and increasing demand for the commodity• High potential to raise productivity and off-take rate in
smallholder flocks Pro-poor potential
• High number of poor smallholders and value chain actors involved in production
• Good income opportunity for women headed households Researchable supply constraints
• Shortage and fluctuation of feed supply• Poor animal hygiene and diseases (high lamb/kid mortality)• Lack of sustainable organizational structures for breeder and
producer groups • Poor market infrastructure and institutional arrangements
Framework for situational analysis of the respective sectors
Generic tools for rapid and in-depth VCA developed and tested for 3 commodities (dairy cattle, small ruminants and pigs)
Tools for rapid integrated assessment of food safety and nutrition (in collaboration with CRP 4 Animal Health and Nutrition)
Strategies for partnership development and involvement – innovation systems/platforms
Strategies for outscaling developed (based on partnerships, targeting and impact assessment)
Expected outputs from VCD in L&F
Open access databases (NIRS equations, feeds, successes and failures in technology development, AnGR)
Tools for rapid assessment of feeding systems and feed intervention screening (FEAST and TechFit)
Diagnostic toolkit for animal diseases
Demand-driven solutions for feeding, breeding and animal health constraints identified in the VCs
Vaccine development (PPR success story)
Insights in genetics of adaptation (long-term)
Expected outputs from Technology Development
Formation of the Dairy Development Forum an informal mechanism for vertical coordination of field activities and
co-creating solutions at national and milk-shed levels membership across all key public and private sector players in the
dairy sector.
Situational analysis report establishing a baseline for the sector
Tools developed to identify potential interventions for improved dairy value chain performance
Review of past successes and failures in dairy development interventions
Potential interventions best bets for improved VC performance
Tanzania Dairy Cattle VC outputs in 2012
Toolkit for rapid VCA for sheep and goat in Ethiopia
By mid April 2013 for seven sheep and goat VC sites:
Site descriptions, rapid VCA reports, draft intervention plans
Cross-cutting research issues identified and prioritized
Process of partnership development with different stakeholders
Pilot breeding programs for smallholders developed and implemented
Feeding system assessments and feed intervention screening tested at two sites

Lack of awareness and skills on improved sheep production practices
Feed shortage in quality and quantity and lack of planting material and forage seeds
Unidentified and high incidence of disease and parasites
Shortage of Animal health service delivery (drug supply, service availability, skills)
Lack of vertical and horizontal linkages of sheep producers (missing linkage among producers and with other actors)
Seasonality of supply of sheep
Lack of supply of quality sheep: low dressing percentage, red offal often condemned due to disease and parasites
Identified constraints in Atsbi sheep
Joint research and intervention plans for shared sites (Atsbi sheep VC)
Joint learning across sites for sheep and goat value chains in Ethiopia and dairy cattle VC across countries (including IPMS results)
Outscaling of successful interventions developed by L & F
Joint development of technical training courses related to action research
Dialogue on pathways to impact
Joint Development of Monitoring and Evaluation Systems
Joint development of Communication strategies
Expectations from LIVES (synergies)
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.
