SUSTAINABLE COOPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA Cooperatives play an important role in economic development of many countries across the continent. In Kenya, cooperatives are controlling about 43% of GDP and 31% of national savings and deposits. They have 70% of the coffee market, 76% dairy, 90% pyrethrum, and 95% of cotton. In Benin, FECECAM (Faitiere des caisses deparge et de credit agricole mutuel), a savings and credit cooperative federation, provided USD 16 million in rural loans in 2002. In Côte d'Ivoire cooperatives invested USD 26 million for setting up schools, building rural roads and establishing maternal clinics. In Kenya, over 300,000 people are directly employed by co-operatives Globally, cooperatives provide over 100 million jobs around the world, 20% more than multinational enterprises.

Tanzania Livestock Master Plan: Milk results for the Sector Analysis (2016-...

ILRI

This document summarizes the key findings from the Tanzania Livestock Master Plan regarding interventions to increase milk production from 2016-2031. The plan assessed potential interventions against Ethiopia's national development goals, focusing on reducing poverty, achieving food security, economic growth, exports, and employment. Modeling showed that improving family and specialized commercial dairy systems could achieve high returns on investment and meet national goals. However, there is projected to be a huge milk deficit due to limited animal feed and genetics as well as a lack of supportive policies and investment incentives. The document recommends prioritizing investments in crossbred dairy genetics, smallholder feeding models, animal health, incentives for smallholder milk production and processing, and policies supporting investments in feed production

ZeroFly Chombo grain trading system

Francois Stepman

Presentation by Allan Mortensen, Chombo Project, Verstergaard. ZeroFly® Chombo is a grain trading system that connects large industrial offtakers with smallholder farmers. ZeroFly® Storage Bag is the first insecticide-incorporated storage bag to prevent damaging pest infestations. It reduces the loss of seed or grains that can be consumed, stored for security, or sold for optimized prices, while not having the hazards associated with fumigation or the potential for pesticide residues that come from inaccurate insecticide spraying. Presentation at the Online Forum on Building climate resilient food systems based on the 10 Ag (27 October 2020). Organized jointly by the Secretariat of the Thematic Working Group (TWG) on Agriculture, Food Security and Land Use at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Biovision Foundation and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), this online forum was the second of a series that addressesed the adaptation and mitigation potential of agroecology in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

This document summarizes testing innovations in livestock and dairy value chain finance models in East and Southern Africa. It describes the Ekwatho Financing Scheme model in Namibia which guarantees farmers a minimum price, production support, and financing through loans administered by the financial institution and livestock company. It also outlines the Swaziland beef value chain finance model and a dairy market hubs model in Tanzania which connects farmers, transporters, input suppliers, processors and buyers through collection and bulking centers. The work is a partnership between various organizations and universities in Tanzania and Swaziland and is funded by IFAD, Irish Aid and CGIAR programs.

USAID Digital Agriculture Forum // Evidence Presentation

Nicole Bridge

Digital technologies have enabled greater efficiencies and impact across agricultural value chains in developing countries over the past decade. Mobile phone adoption increased 75% and smartphone adoption 800% from 2010-2015 in countries where USAID operates agricultural programs. A variety of digital tools are helping farmers access inputs, manage production, reduce post-harvest losses, and access new markets. Evidence shows these tools increasing yields by 50-100%, reducing costs by 25-30%, and enabling price increases for farmers of 8-9%. However, gaps in digital access, literacy and locally relevant content remain barriers, especially for women.

ILRI

This project aims to improve dairy productivity in Ethiopia and Tanzania through genetic gains and farmer support services. It will establish performance recording centers to select superior dairy cows and bulls. These will be used in artificial insemination and natural mating programs to demonstrate genetic improvement. The project also aims to provide farmer information and management support services to 59,000 farmers, and potentially one million farmers. It involves partnerships between ILRI, universities, and companies to deliver these services sustainably and scale them up through private sector involvement over time.

Better lives through livestock: ILRI in East Africa focus on dairy

ILRI

The document discusses opportunities for sustainable dairy development in East Africa through the work of ILRI and its partners. ILRI's mission is to improve food security and reduce poverty through research on sustainable livestock use. ILRI is conducting research in East Africa to unleash the dairy potential, such as integrated projects in Tanzania (Maziwa Zaidi) and a genetic gains platform (ADGG) in Tanzania and Ethiopia. These projects package profitable and sustainable technologies while building capacity of agribusinesses. Lessons so far indicate that linkages with agri-entrepreneurs show more promise for technology uptake and productivity gains compared to new farmer groups. Structured skills training and ICT provide opportunities to
