Dynamic Issues and Solutions

TANZANIA ETHIOPIAEstablishing a local partnership. Difficulties faced by multi national company. Registered, partnered with local company. Cash- not forthcoming/ government/ previous issues? ABEA registered investing in people, logistics, offices. Subaward directed at AITechs.

NAIC. Total Government, but no regular budget support. Equipment and bulls unavailable. NAIC no LN2. Reviews of NAIC with input from Nathaniel; DH Industries; IMV; ABS New Zealand. Plan> business plan – maintenance, training to ensure supply chain functioning. PPP

Government is a partner, but LOL is seen in the light of previous history (USAID)- expect budget on some issues, time. MOU with Gov. & Regional Subawards in place. Based on incentives to AITechs managing with regional Coordinators

Command economy/MNCs are expressing interest (4 MNCs: ABEA, Genus, CRV and Semex). Early stages.

Political unrest result in delays.

.

Challenges Continued….

Tanzania Continued.Access to finance by private entrepreneurs encouraged, but deposit base low, default rate in Tz at highest seen, lack of knowledge on financing AI industry and smallholders. PAID has incorporated advance to AITechs within a subaward which is effectively canceled based upon performance. In addition encouraged AITechs to use one bank and we will create a 12 month track record of revenue and expenses to educate the Banks on AItechs as individual small business operator.

Ethiopia Continued.Subsidies not viable for private sector, threat to sustainability of this program. Currently working with existing SME`s Companies to take on AITechs. We will then have small subawards to incentivize attached AITechs. Ideally, MNCs and local firms link and set up distribution channels. The trick will be to have these pilot projects financially viable and non government employees …future?

Challenges Continued…

Responsible Management – PAID business training

Expectations. Aid program. Farmers.

Distances and no concentration of smallholders requiring AI. (viability)

Markets for milk will drive the process for AI. Slow to develop and traditional consumption

Investment into Dairy Sector limited

Farmer knowledge. Feed systems and Animal Health, go hand in hand with Improving Genetics. PAID Training & links electronic to AITechs limited…

Ethiopia Overview

Challenges and SolutionsChallenges Solution and strategies plannedNumber of cows for practical training – Oromia & Tigray Holding government accountable to commitments and

contribution – success with training cows

Meeting program targets for ‘public AI technicians’ Sought and received government’s commitment to train and recruit new AI technicians. SNNP has already started training new AI techs.

Meeting program targets for female AITCs • Leverage female public employees with animal production and health background

• New AI techs training / Ensure selection of women for new AI techs training

• Women in PAID and none-PAID weredas

Operationalizing ODK application For updates – to work through regional focal persons and AI Tech Field Coordinitors

Tanzania Overview

Challenges and SolutionsChallenges Solution and strategies plannedLimitations among MNCs on investing in genetics services Review: Prove the model (through ABEA) to demonstrate

farmers willingness to pay for sound service and market to future MNCs

Financial institutions not interested to finance SME in the livestock sector including AI Techs

Use of incentive budget to procure up front required equipment as debit (advance) on AITs future performance. Reconciled through performance payment (at the 30% rate in proposal)

Farmers training budget shortfall • Leverage government extension and provision of limited support

• Leverage ABEA for farmer training• Coordinate and sequence with other programs

Donor dependence syndrome - expectations of handouts by Government and farmers

Expectation setting through dialogue and discussion on potential

Unreliable market for milk vs move to increase cow productivity through improved genetic (and pay more for it)

Work with SMEs, processors and others to create linkages and encourage investment into program area. Also, create farmer demand for AI

Limited number of women AI techs Organizing women-only AIT training

Tanzania Overview

˃Plan Year 2017 Expansion of farmers training to Lake Zone, Coastal Regions, Southern

Highlands – Targeting 62,000 (43,500 women) Identify, train, equip an additional 150 AITs to reach franchise target of 300 Organize women-only AI Tech trainings Monitor and fine tune (as needed) performance incentive system to AITs Complete 138,000 inseminations, resulting in 49,640 LCBs NAIC upgrading – support to improve infrastructures
