Item MoreMilkIT - Uncertainty in milk production study(Dataset, 2016-12-31) Omore, Amos; Twine, Edgar; Rao, E.J.O.; Baltenweck, IsabelleMore milk by and for the poor: Adapting dairy market hubs for pro-poor smallholder value chains in Tanzania (MoreMilkIT) The MoreMilkiT project aims to achieve inclusive growth and reduced poverty and vulnerability among people with dairy- dependent livelihoods in selected rural areas in Tanzania. The project is primarily targeted at pre-commercial marginalized smallholder cattle-keeping men and women who do not currently participate fully in dairy value chains, The data for the study was collected in August 2016 at one of the MoreMilkIT project sites, Lushoto district, located in the north of the Tanga region in the eastern milk shed. The study relied on representative smallholder dairy farms as study units. Farmers who undertake commercial milk production and own the dairy enterprise were the primary criteria guiding the selection of representative dairy farmers for each gender category. Farmers were also selected based on their willingness and ability to provide accurate and substantial enterprise data. Impact of risk on cash flows was examined for a single cow for one lactation period (300 days), and the impact of uncertainty on investment decisions was determined using capital budgeting methods. This study was supported by NWO-WOTRO through the LIQUID project and Irish Aid in Tanzania through the MoreMilkiT project. The authors are also grateful to the dairy farmers who provided the data for the study.Item Formative research for the development of a theory-based social behavior change communication plan for the More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkIT) project(Thesis, 2018-04-25) Kelly, J.Malnutrition is a problem throughout the world, disproportionately affecting impoverished, rural, and vulnerable populations.1 Tanzania is not spared the effects of malnutrition, as almost 90% of the population is located in rural regions2 and 30% of the population is classified as food insecure.3,4 Rural Tanzania relies heavily on livestock for nutritional and economic security.5 Research suggests that livestock keeping in East Africa holds potential for economic growth,6 that can be environmentally and culturally sensitive,7 with specific benefits to highly vulnerable populations such as women and children.8 The More Milk in Tanzania project seeks to use advanced value-chain development to improve livelihoods through focused livestock and dairy production and sale.9 This research was conducted as the formative research for a social behavior change communication (SBCC) plan to supplement the More Milk project implementation, specifically to improve maternal and child nutrition through animal sourced foods. Formative research was grounded in a combination of three theoretical frameworks, the COM-B model10 the Theoretical Domains Framework,11 and the Designing for Behavior Change methodology of a barrier analysis.12 The formative research was conducted in Masatu, Tanzania in the district of Handeni. A mixed-methods barrier analysis consisted of 51 doer/non-doer surveys, nine key informant interviews, and four focus groups. Doer/non-doer surveys measured characteristics and behavioral domains of mothers who did and did not complete selected behaviors. Behaviors of interest included those recommended by the WHO for adequate maternal nutrition for fetal development and infant and young child feeding practices.13-21 Qualitative data collection consisted of conversation about community issues, program participation, community eating habits, and perceptions of the selected maternal and child nutrition behaviors. Several key determinants of behavior were identified including, access to resources, such as time, money, and food, socially normalized support from important family members, such as husbands and older female relatives, and both perceived positive/negative consequences and barriers/facilitators to maternal and child nutrition behaviors. Major themes such as perceived insufficient milk and consumption discrepancies between pregnant and lactating women and infants and children also arose. Using these results, this research lays the groundwork for a theory-based SBCC plan to improve maternal and child nutrition.Item More milk by and for the poor: Adapting dairy market hubs for pro-poor smallholder value chains in Tanzania: Annual Report to Irish Aid - Tanzania, Jan-Dec 2013(Report, 2014) International Livestock Research InstituteItem Maziwa Zaidi: Tanzania smallholder dairy value chain R4D program—an experiment to improve AR4D(Presentation, 2016-10-31) Omore, Amos O.Item Maziwa Zaidi: What we thought—Highlights from context analysis(Presentation, 2016-10-31) Omore, Amos O.Item Farmers’ preference for bundled input-output markets: Implications for adapting dairy market hubs in the Tanzania dairy value chain(Presentation, 2016-09-23) Rao, E.J.O.; Mtimet, Nadhem; Twine, Edgar E.; Baltenweck, Isabelle; Omore, Amos O.Item Growing commercial dairying in pre-commercial areas(Presentation, 2016-09-08) Omore, Amos O.Item Strategic implementation plan for enabling innovations for Tanzania value chain transformation and scaling 2015(Presentation, 2015-03-27) Omore, Amos O.Item Ex-ante impact assessment in improving the dairy value chain in Tanzania: A system dynamics approach(Presentation, 2015-09-23) Hamza, K.; Katjiuongua, Hikuepi B.; Omore, Amos O.Item Maziwa Zaidi overview and plans for 2015(Presentation, 2015-03-27) Omore, Amos O.Item More milkit Mid Term Review: Main findings, recommendations and implications(Presentation, 2015-09-23) Omore, Amos O.Item Maziwa Zaidi—Tanzania dairy value chain development program(Presentation, 2015-09-28) Omore, Amos O.Item Influence of innovation platforms on information sharing and nurturing of smaller innovation platforms: A case study of the Tanzania Dairy Development Forum(Presentation, 2015-08-09) Kago, K.M.; Cadilhon, Joseph J.; Maina, M.; Omore, Amos O.Item Progress in developing dairy market hubs for marginalised communities in Tanzania(Presentation, 2015-09-23) Omore, Amos O.Item Piloting innovation and market linkages to transform smallholder dairy value chains in Tanzania(Poster, 2016-06-13) Omore, Amos O.; Twine, Edgar E.Item Production and consumption responses to policy interventions in Tanzania's dairy industry(Journal Article, 2016-04-02) Twine, Edgar E.The study uses a partial equilibrium model of Tanzania’s informal dairy value chain to determine the benefits to milk producers and consumers from three policy interventions proposed in the Tanzania Livestock Modernization Initiative (TLMI). Using aggregate time series data to simulate the model, the study finds that from an individual policy perspective, expanding the national herd would produce the largest benefits for producers and consumers; producers would gain over 550 million shillings annually and consumers would gain about 35 shillings per capita. Comparing the other two interventions, consumers would benefit more from a better regulatory environment than from a reduction in cow prices, while producers would benefit more from a reduction in cow prices than from better regulations. If all policies are implemented simultaneously, even greater benefits would be realised; consumer surplus would increase by 85 shillings annually and producer surplus would increase by over one billion shillings in real terms. The results suggest that policy interventions outlined in the TLMI that address supply constraints are critical to developing the country’s dairy industry.Item Gender activities in Maziwa Zaidi project 2015(Presentation, 2015-09-23) Galiè, AlessandraItem Testing innovations in livestock and dairy value chain finance: Insights from east and southern Africa(Presentation, 2014-07-14) Cadilhon, Joseph J.; Mtimet, Nadhem; Nelgen, S.; Twine, Edgar E.; Bohme, H.Item Tanzania smallholder dairy value chain development: Situation analysis and trends(Report, 2014-12-30) Katjiuongua, Hikuepi B.; Nelgen, S.Item Tanzania livestock modernization initiative(Report, 2015-07-30) Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development
