1. The MilkIT project in India and Tanzania
Alan Duncan
MilkIT Final Project Workshop, Lushoto, Tanzania, 9-10 December 2014
Enhancing dairy-based livelihoods in India and Tanzania through feed innovation and
value chain development approaches
10. Locations
India and Tanzania
– Controversial not to pursue activities in
any of the original FAP locations
– Strong push from L&F – test case for
locating projects around L&F priorities
– In India IFAD pushed for Uttarakhand
because of ILSP
– In Tanzania IFAD were keen on
Zanzibar but it didn’t fit with L&F
priorities – some tension between CG
and IFAD priorities

20. Legacy
What have we learned in MilkIT that
will influence other initiatives?
– FEAST – Pakistan AIS, ICARDA North
Africa ….
– Humidtropics – IP thinking
– Anchal, ILSP, CHIRAG, INHERE
– L&F Tz
26. Livestock institutional
environment
Tz
– Agro-pastoral – cultural barriers to
cultivation
– IP’s - quick to move to structure
– Dominance of one milk buyer – Tanga
Fresh
India
– Rich actor landscape
– Strong tradition of farmer organization –
SHG’s
– Women to the fore
