Solutions developed for isolated issues in specific settings, but
ignoring other constraints in the value chain that discourage

bénéfice des pauvres ?
• Les résultats jusqu’à là?
– Sous-investissement systématique
– Modèle approprié de recherche-pour-le-

• Comment assurer que les populations pauvres auront
l’accès suffisant à la nourriture de provenance animale?

6. Notre logique
Systèmes à
petite échelle
pourront
‘grandir’ et
assurer l’accès
aux pauvres
•Improve supply response through Intensification &
professionalization
•Win-Win! Increase access to animal-source food +
smooth transition for inclusive rural economic growth

7. Est-ce que nous pouvons être plus malin?
Drawing from recent experiences,
can we accelerate research to impact?

11. Approche d’engagement
• Rôle catalyseur
• Identifier des partenaires stratégiques
– Ce qui partagent le même objectif et s’y mettent
avec leurs propres moyens
• Impliquer d’autres partis pris et des
collaborateurs
– Etablir une mécanisme de coordination
– Mobilisation de financement ensemble

12. Où en sommes-nous?
• Partenariat de 4 centres CGIAR:
• Depuis janvier 2012
• Formulation de la stratégie par thème et par filière
• Identification des partenaires stratégiques

13. Qu’est-ce qui distingue notre programme?
• L’accent sur la sécurité alimentaire locale et nationale
– Comment assurer que les nutriments les meilleurs ne
sont pas tous exportés et sont disponible à un prix à la
porté des populations pauvres
• L’accent sur un partenariat qui ne dépend pas d’une
mentalité de ‘projet’
• L’accent sur un programme composé d’une progression
de plusieurs projets et activités menés par un
partenaire ou l’autre pour achever l’objectif commun

14. 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.

Value chain transformation & scaling Flagship

21. Value chain transformation & scaling Flagship
• Improve integrative nature and impact focus
• Give more attention to:
– Multidisciplinary dynamic
– Ability to leverage involvement of Discovery
Flagships
• More rigour in designing integrated interventions,
evaluating and documenting evidence
– Reviews, best bet protocol
– Partner landscaping

22. Supplemental funding calls
• Gender mainstreaming (KIT)
• Value chain-commissioned work by Technology
Themes
• Cross-CRP linkages
– Alignment with priorities of the CRPs

23. Gender mainstreaming
• Purpose: encourage more systematic integration of gender into
research planning, design and implementation across the CRP. The
intention is to stimulate non-gender researchers and research
managers to take the lead in reviewing their research agenda,
identifying entry points for more careful and consistent
consideration of gender, and initiating activities that begin to
exploit those entry points.
• Who is eligible?: ILRI researchers other than members of the
gender group, currently leading activities under the L&F CRP. We
encourage them to include members of the gender group to be
part of the research team.

24. Gender mainstreaming
• Types of activities :
– Assessments of opportunities for better integrating gender
considerations into technology development research
– Identification or adaptation of methodologies to improve gender
sensitivity of research approaches and activities
– Case studies demonstrating the application of methodologies to
improve gender sensitivity in ongoing research activities
– Activities that focus on capacity building among partners may not be
funded since the focus of this call is on strengthening our internal
capacity.
• Sourcing gender expertise: Proposals are expected to be
developed in consultation with ILRI’s gender team
• Funding:
• Proposal up to $60,000. We expect to fund up to 8 proposals.

25. Strengthening links between discovery and
delivery Flagship Projects
• Purpose: ‘empower’ the value chain teams to express demand for
how they would like to shape the involvement of the discovery
platforms to best support the value chain agenda
• Who is eligible?: Value chain coordinators, on behalf of teams
• Types of activities: for example:
– CRP staff from the discovery platforms design and support technical
studies that form part of the ongoing value chain assessments
– Scoping studies to develop strategies and proposals for developing
technologies
– Proposal development with local partners for field studies or
technology development related to priority constraints and best bets
• Funding: Each value chain has an allocation of $38,000 in 2014 that
can be dedicated to one or more proposals. Funding is contingent
on PPMC approval of the proposal. Funding can support time of
CRP staff from the discovery platforms, but not for value chain
staff.

26. Cross-CRP linkages
• Purpose: promote cross-CRP collaboration through initiatives that
clearly contribute to priorities of the L&F CRP and the collaborating
CRP
• Fund: Total $343,000, individual proposals up to $100,000
• Who is eligible?: Researchers from the L&F CRP or the CRP
targeted for collaboration
• Types of activities : for example:
– Scoping studies, reviews or writeshops for joint proposal
development
– Joint activities that allow a research product from one CRP to
be trialed in or taken up by the other CRP
– Joint activities that draw on expertise from both CRPs to
generate a joint product

27. Application
• Title of proposed activity:
• Submitted by: (Name, home centre and CRP of lead researcher
from each CRP)
