Plans to achieve objectives: 2013-163. Inform policy on appropriate role for pro-poor smallholder-based informal sector value chains in dairy sector development
• Output 3.1 Lessons for sustainable value chain development through evidence-based research, monitoring and evaluation, and recommendations for scaling out developed and disseminated

Cross-cutting Monitoring, Learning and Evaluation framework
More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project
Dairy Market Hubs (DMHs) with emphasis on improving access to inputs and services through business development services (BDS) and check-off arrangements:
a) DMHs revolving around chilling plants or accessing them (if under-utilized) through transport arrangements that provide both outputs marketing and inputs and services through check-offs; b) DMHs revolving around check-offs for inputs and services provided through milk traders; and c) DMHs revolving around check-offs for inputs and services provided through cattle traders.
Piloting of adapted hubs to be main focus in 2013-16
More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project
DMH category Criteria for becoming a DMH a): Collective bulking and sale of milk by members of a farmers group
Farmers group i) is registered at district level ii) has at least 1 link with a milk trader/ buyer and at least 1 link
with an input & services provider iii) members are able to access inputs & services on check off
system b) and c): Individual members of a farmers group sell milk and/or cattle directly to traders
Farmers group i) is registered at district level ii) members are able to access inputs & services on check off
system
Criteria for becoming a dairy market hub defined
Hub for provision of inputs and services on credit without collective bulking and marketing
• Monitoring, learning and evaluation (MLE) framework for pilot projects developed; 1st monitoring survey soon
• Several targeted research activities and ex-ante assessment of interventions initiated, some through students
Impact pathway and MLE framework developed
More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project
• Most findings re-affirm VCA findings, with figures
• Commercialising the marginalised will mostly be about feed, less so other constraints!
Baseline (benchmark) results available
It is evolving and continuing to catalyze policy dialogue for a pro-poor transformation of the dairy value chain…
