Cross-cutting Monitoring, Learning and Evaluation framework

More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project

Piloting of adapted hubs to be main focus in 2013-16

Dairy Market Hubs (DMHs) with emphasis on improving access to inputs and services through business development services (BDS) and check-off arrangements: a) DMHs revolving around chilling plants or accessing

them (if under-utilized) through transport arrangements that provide both outputs marketing and inputs and services through check-offs;

b) DMHs revolving around check-offs for inputs and

services provided through milk traders; and

c) DMHs revolving around check-offs for inputs and

services provided through cattle traders.

Criteria for becoming a dairy market hub defined

DMH category

a): Collective bulking and sale of milk by members of a farmers group b) and c): Individual members of a farmers group sell milk and/or cattle directly to traders

Criteria for becoming a DMH

Farmers group i) is registered at district level ii) has at least 1 link with a milk trader/ buyer and at least 1 link with an input & services provider iii) members are able to access inputs & services on check off system Farmers group i) is registered at district level ii) members are able to access inputs & services on check off system

Hub for provision of inputs and services on credit without collective bulking and marketing

More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project

Impact pathway and MLE framework

•

developed

Monitoring, learning and evaluation (MLE) framework for pilot projects developed; 1 st monitoring survey soon • Several targeted research activities and ex-ante assessment of interventions initiated, some through students

Baseline (benchmark) results available

• • Most findings re-affirm VCA findings, with figures Commercialising the marginalised will mostly be about feed, less so other constraints!

DDF Update

It is evolving and continuing to catalyze policy dialogue for a pro-poor transformation of the dairy value chain…
