PROBLEM STATEMENT

Vision

By 2023, people in Burkina Faso benefit from inclusive, sustainable and productive sheep and goat value chains

their sheep and goats are more productive, livestock markets work for producers, consumers and business, there is more, more affordable and healthier sheep and goat products, and the livelihoods and capacities of people involved in the whole chain are improved.

Objective

• The Livestock and Fish programs aims totransform sheep and goat value chains in Burkina Faso by developing, testing and supporting the scaling up of integrated interventions, innovations and technologies, for the poor by the poor.

Goals • Smallholder sheep and goat producers have reliable and

consistent access to high quality inputs and services that enhance their capacity to innovate for increased productivity and better access to output markets.

• All small ruminant value chains actors engage with reliable, well-coordinated, equitable and efficient sheep and goat marketing arrangements with resultant improvement in capacities, household income and livelihoods.

• Poor consumers have improved access to safe sheep and goat meat and milk at affordable prices and increase their per capita consumption of these products and other ASFs.

Impact pathways• Institutional innovations for reliable and consistent access

to inputs and services. • Innovative strategies for consistent and reliable access to

and smarter and sustainable use of feed and small ruminants genetic resources and water.

• Research for development alliances are established for the co-construction of technological, organizational and institutional innovations and recommendations for more and smarter investments in sheep and goat value chains development

• Generation of evidence for achieving impact at scale and influencing policy.

• Innovative strategies for increasing the consumption of animal source foods.
