Transforming value chains at scale
1. Transforming value chains
at scale
Stuart Worsley
Making Agricultural R4D Partnerships Work at Scale
Workshop, Johannesburg, South Africa, 26 November 2014
2. Why Partner?
What do we want to achieve?
• Sustainable Impact at Scale
– Transformation:
• Changed value chain dynamics
• Changed practices
• Action by many
4. Transformation is not Roll Out
Transformation Roll Out
- Non linear
- Organic and emergent
- Changing dynamics and
patterns
- Continual adaptation and
renewal
- Focus on outcomes and
effects
- Planned and predictable
- Intervenionist (expanding,
replicating , adapting and
sustaining successful
policies, programs and
policies in a place to reach
more people)
- Pathway dependent (pilot
to policy)
- Driven by vision, catalyst
and incentive
- Assumes that scale has no
effect
- Focus on instruments
5. Key elements of Reaching Sustainable Scale
– Being Appropriate
• Solutions that work
• Fit for context
– Ownership
– Enthusiasm
– Adoption
Participation
Learning
Relationship Networks
6. GCARD II
• Transformational Partnerships are those that
– Form around development Issues
– Are joint initiatives across whole systems
– Emerge and learn as they go
– Are grounded in action
Unleashing widespread development action and capability
that transforms value chain function
7. So what stops this from
happening any way?
CONSTRAINTS
8. Development Actors, Value Chain Actors and Researchers
Are Different

9. Overcoming Constraints – Building Relationships That Work
• Value chain actors, development actors and researchers
– All have valid viewpoints
– Have comparative advantage
– Have important roles to play in transforming VCs.
– Are deficient on their own in this task
• Barriers and mistrust can be broken down
– Processes to build relationships
– Within a framework of alliance and partnership.
• Coordination function based on enablement
– Seeking both individual and collective sense
– We must offer innovations and services that make sense
to them
• Engagement from the start
• Science as an attractive knowledge product
– meets both current and long term needs.
– analysis, technology, social and economic innovations,
and value chain system facilitation that is framed around
alliance and partnership
10. Principles of Partnership
• Changing the nature of conversation – getting to know
“them”
• Value Chain Learning and Action platforms – site and
country
– Mapping critical issues – common understanding
– Offer intelligence on value chain function
– Build shared agendas for action by all.
• Multiple strands of action – own volition
• Seeking quick wins to light fires for higher action
• Evolving through investment shaping to whole system
action
• Building alliances on success
12. Initiate Processes and Structures to Identify and
Stimulate Collaborative Action Around Potent Value
Chain System Issues
• Convene value chain system and development actors into learning and
action platforms
• With platform members, conduct value chain system enquiry
processes that stimulate action
• Facilitate regular and periodic platform reviews of innovations
– Working on different issues in the same chain (parallel action, not
aligned)
– Working on the same issues in the same chain (parallel action,
aligned)
– Working together on the same issues in the same chain
(convergent action)
• Engage specific platform actors in taking successful innovations to
scale within the site
• Engage specific platform actors to experiment with innovation
adaptation for better solution fit
13. Form Site and Country Tactical Partnerships for
Collaborative Up-Scaling Initiatives
• Form a critical mass of actors around signature issues
that manifest national up-scaling potency and interest
• With each signature issue, spawn collaboration sets
between key value chain system and development
actors
• With each signature issue, engage development actors
who have the potency to offer enablement services
within their current program agendas
14. Form Transnational Strategic Partnerships for Out-
Scaling
After some time in our countries of operation, we will
begin to show success in stimulating national value chain
system transformation, to address systemic patterns
• Convene regional and global review forums
• Around signature issues, form action sets of
strategically aligned development partners
• Engage in strategic partnership agreements with willing
development partners
15. Provide Facilitation and Knowledge Services to
National and Transnational Platforms
Underpinning this trajectory is the role of knowledge in
shaping action
• Develop learning and action platform methodologies
and provide capacity development services to enable
tactical and strategic development partners to facilitate
whole value chain system facilitation
• Provide Knowledge Development, Networking,
Brokering and Management Services to national and
transnational platforms
16. SNV – Netherlands Development Organisation
and CRP Livestock and Fish
• Climate Smart Dairy
• Feed and Fodder for Dairy
• Building diary sector knowledge and skills
• Milk quality
• Production, productivity and processing
• Extensive livestock production systems
• Extensive Livestock marketing systems
• Extensive livestock and climate change
• Access to BDS for extensive livestock system
17. CARE and CRP Livestock and Fish
• Gender and social relationships in livestock value
chains
• Bangladesh and Egypt – Aquaculture value chains
• Tanzania – Dairy
• Uganda – climate change resilient livelihoods,
private sector engagement
18. CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish
livestockfish.cgiar.org
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.
