Sheep meat value chain in Ethiopia Planning Meeting September 2011 CGIAR Research Program 3.7 Planning Meeting ILRI Nairobi 5-8 March 2012
Entry Point Established collaboration and lessons learnt from the joint ICARDA/ILRI/Boku Project "Developing community based breeding programs" for four local sheep breeds in Ethiopia
Outcomes and outputs in 2012 Priority Outcomes 1. Market demand and structures at all levels fully understood. 2. Model(s) for collective action for sheep producers developed and required institutional support determined. 3. Platforms for farmers-traders negotiation established Priority Research Outputs 1. Market chain and consumer demand analysis completed. 2. Assessment of existing forms of collective actions for farmers in Ethiopia 3. Roles of women in sheep production in different systems
Outcomes and outputs in 2013 Priority Outcomes 1. Improved understanding of sheep VCs and their structure and efficiency. 2. Capacity in VCA methods built among partners in Ethiopia. 3. Sheep breeding programs optimized (full support from NARs) 4. Market for improved rams established. Priority Research Outputs 1. VCA (technology constraints, capacity constraints and required partner institutions) completed for sheep VCs in Ethiopia. 2. Functional recording database 3. Breeding value estimation
Activities & Resources 1) Resource mobilization 2) Continue operation in field 1) SNPs to assess breed composition in Menz (Awassi-Menz sheep crossbreds) 2) Impact of improved genetics (size and feed requirement) on natural resource base Support filed operation of the national system including up/out scaling Budget for the year The focus PhD studies at Boku NARS Fodder market scoping study in Ethiopia ACIAR ADA, DFID, USAID, donor conference Long term strategies for stallholder sheep breeding programs
