Presentation by Tom Randolph to the CGIAR Livestock Fish Mega Program Stakeholder Meeting, Addis Ababa, 24-25 August 2010

1. Shaping a new CGIAR Mega Program on Livestock and Fish Tom Randolph (ILRI) CGIAR Livestock Fish Mega Program Stakeholder Meeting, Addis Ababa, 24-25 August 2010

3. Invitation to develop Mega Program on: Sustainable staple food productivity increase for global food security: Livestock and fish

4. Emphasis on increasing production/productivity for food security…..

6. Dense sources of protein, energy

7. Delivers essential, highly available micronutrients more effectively than plant-based food

8. Associated with

9. Better growth, cognitive function and physical activity of children

10. Better pregnancy outcomes

12. Fast growing demand to be met Projected increase in demand for ASFs to 2020 (% per year) FAO 1009 SOFA Report

14. Not as well developed where the poor are

15. Poor will need to depend on local systems

16. Limited capacity to respond

17. Offers opportunity for broad-based income generation from high-value ASF

18. Transition strategy

20. But productivity and consumption rates continue to lagFAO 1009 SOFA Report

22. But large productivity gaps remain

24. Growing & dynamic markets and private sector

25. Recent experiences of working closer with development partners

26. New scientific advances

27. Institutional flexibility from CG change

30. Example of East Africa Dairy Development Project Performance Target: double dairy income in 135,000 poor cattle-keeping households Scaling out Development Partners (HPI, Technoserve, ABS) $45m Knowledge Partners (ILRI, ICRAF, NARS) M&E, learning, technology dissemination $5m Time 10 years

35. Purpose is to provide a product of value to consumer, for which consumer is willing to pay

36. Value distributed back along value chain

41. Role of Research in Value Chain Development Value chain development component Consumers

42. Role of Research in Value Chain Development Technology generation component Consumers

43. An Example: Dry-season feed Innovation Platform Feed demand Innovation Platform Seed systems Pulveriser services Pulveriser Food-feed crops Scenario planning Policies Policies Consumers

46. Clustering and business development servicesSectoral and policy analysis

47. Working within a development intervention MP3.7 Prepare intervention Performance Target: double production in x poor households Scaling out Development Partners $90m Knowledge Partners $10m MP3.7 Strategic Research $10m Time 10 years

49. Improved delivery of genetics

51. Dual-purpose food-feed crops

53. Maps of disease risk and response

54. Delivery of improved health services

55. Will seek a balance of:

56. adaptive, real-time problem solving

58. Impact assessment & learning

59. Scanning the horizon – foresight

60. Improved mapping of systems

62. 6-8 value chains

63. Catalyze R&D investment and efforts

64. Work more directly with development and private sector partners

65. Set clear goals for impact

67. Impact Pathway embedded directly Conventional – outputs transferred to development actors viewed as outcomes New Model – outputs made-to-order for immediate use within large-scale intervention with scaling-out strategy

68. And still generating wider benefits Value chain assessment methods platform Delivery strategies platforms Productivity technologies platforms Consumers Consumers Consumers Consumers Consumers

69. And still generating wider benefits

71. Pro-poor potential

74. Smallholder small ruminants in Mali and Ethiopia

75. Smallholder aquaculture in Uganda

76. Smallholder dairying in Tanzania and India

79. MP2: role of animal product value chains in broader economic growth

80. MP3: role of crops as feed, use of animals for crop production

82. Overarching Goal Sustainably increase productivity of small-scale livestock and fish systems so as to increase availability and affordability of ASFs for poor consumers and, in doing so, to reduce poverty through greater participation by the poor along ASF value chains.

83. Our Proposition The enduring productivity gap in poor country small-scale livestock and aquaculture systems can be sustainably reduced through new ways of working in which partnerships between research, development and private sector actors stimulate gender-equitable innovation in selected pro-poor value chains; enable uptake of existing appropriate technologies; and identify and communicate demand for new priority technologies that exploit scientific advances. Reducing the productivity gap for livestock and fish will lead to increased access to ASFs by the poor and increased incomes for producers and other value chain actors, thereby improving nutrition and food security.
