Animal Source Foods CRP: Ugandan and Egyptian value chains
malcolm beveridge
WORKSHOP
WorldFish Center, Penang18-22 July 2011
CRP 3.7 - goals
• increase production of affordable fish
increased consumption
better health outcomes among poor and vulnerable
– productive and profitable technologies that sustain ecosystem services
• increase employment and secure more equitable benefits throughout the value chain, especially for the poor and marginalized (women; youth)
CRP 3.7 – themes
• Technology Development
– delivers the productivity gains
• feeds; genetics; health; nutrition; environment
• Value Chain Development
– provides the demand-driven context for technologies
• partnerships; action research; capacity building; piloting interventions
• Targeting, Gender and Impact
– enables the processes and measures success
• governance; equitable share of benefits for women and vulnerable groups; monitoring and assessing impacts

value chain research - our approach
• focus on a few aquaculture value chains
– Egypt
– Uganda
• help develop so that they function better
– competitive; efficient; pro-poor; equitable benefits
• create development impact
– Learn how
– scale out; M&E

Uganda and aquaculture
August 2010
• Step 1: selection of value chains
• Step 2: mixed methods preliminary value chain analysis
• Step 3: preliminary identification of constraints and opportunities

Step 3: semi-structured interviews
• what do the value chains look like and are they functioning well?
• where are the key constraints?
• are there barriers to women securing equitable employment benefits?
• does an increase in aquaculture production increase fish consumption by the poor and improve health?
• Step 4
• what interventions are most likely to deliver greatest impacts on poverty and hunger per sum invested?
Uganda – value chain development
August – December 2011
• with partners secured ASARECA* funding for more detailed VCA
– Steps 1-2: select and map VCs
– Step 3: identify market based solutions
• Step 4: assess market based solutions
January 2012 – March 2014
• Steps 5-6: implement interventions
• M & E
• refine approaches
* Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in East and Central Africa
Uganda – value chain development
• funding is insufficient to match our objectives
• five grant proposals submitted
• more investment needed
– staff, expertise (VC)
– partnerships
– country presence
• review situation in 2012

productivity t ha-1
• production increases must come largely from increased productivity - not from expanding farm area
how?
• better - more profitable -technologies
– seed, feed and water
• better management
• capacity building
Egypt – increasing employment
• expand production
– profitability
• more productive technologies
• better management
• new product lines; new markets
– better trained (youth; women)
– stronger organizations
– improved value chain governance
– enabling policy environment
Egypt - funding
• Mobilize $7.1 million for next three years
• internal
– IMC, STDF, ARDF
• external
– bilateral donors (USAID, EC)
