Dairy sector in eastern Africa
• Uncertainties caused by climate change and
variability, shrinking land sizes, urbanization
• Projected livestock revolution already playing out:
population boom, rising incomes
• A very large informal sector: source of livelihoods
and employment
• Growing regional markets
• Slow pace of policy change
Regional dairy policy work
• 2004-2011: focus on integration of informal sector
led by ILRI
• From 2011: development of tools and procedures led
by National Technical Working Groups (TWGs)
• Ethiopia TWG: standards under dairy processing
• Kenya TWG: Animal registration, breed performance
evaluation, movement of heifers/germplasm, AI delivery
• Tanzania TWG led animal feeds and forages
