1.2 The Dairy 2025 Project
Our
vision is a world in which all we produce, and all we consume, can
sustain us while respecting the planet, each other and the next
generations.
Today’s reality is that many producers and workers live
in poverty and our biosphere and atmosphere are degrading rapidly. The
dairy 2025, allows Solidaridad to work towards

sustainable commodity supply chains, with respect for people, planet and a fair share for everyone in the chain.
The
smallholder dairy farming sector in Tanga Region involves around 6,000
rural families in the production of milk and meat. Most farmers are
organized in 25 Primary Co-operative Societies (PCS) which supervise
their Milk Collection Centers (MCCs). Tanga Fresh LTD (TFL)

livestock
farming is part of Tanzanian culture and dairy is a (potential) high
value product in an upcoming market, its current contribution to
economic development is still limited. Important reason is the
complexity of dairy farming as a fresh perishable product with high
capital needs, high knowledge requirements and dependency on different
services (feed, semen, veterinary). Although Tanga Fresh 1) has secured a
market, 2) is able to process large quantities of milk 3) can bring
this to scale and there is 4) the availability of heifers by Mruazi HBU
to improve production, dairy farmers in Tanga still are not producing
enough milk that will ultimately trigger exponential growth that will
bring socio-economic development to the region, generate the needed
income for families and enhance their food security.

Farmers
often lack the services, technology, credit, knowledge and management
capacity to transform their subsistence farming towards a business
oriented and climate smart approach resulting in increased milk
production per animal and farm in a sustainable way. Support and better
access to services (feed, fodder, medicines, veterinary services)
supported by credit facilities (pay back by milk payment) is an
important condition for farmers to increase their production. A
challenge is the arrangement of continuous support, fodder and services,
preferably organized in current structures. In particular, current
‘progressive’ and ‘business oriented’ dairy farmers require additional
support of knowledge, farm planning and farm data to get credit
facilities (for bigger loans). Another important group is the potential
(young) farmers with the ambition to develop a professional dairy farm,
but lack land, skills and services. During the wet season milk supply
goes up while demand goes down and during the dry season, milk supply
goes down while demand shoots up. Shortage of fodder in the dry season
is not only a problem for productivity, but also for fertility, growth
of young stock and mortality. Lack of knowledge, time (in wet season)
and machinery combined with no history of fodder production are
important reasons. There is a lack of access to different credit
facilities. A regular type of credit facility is to use milk payment to
pay back small credits, for example, used for services. In the Tanga
region most of the MCCs of the cooperative societies are not established
for this service. For bigger credit, to be used for example for heifers
or technology, farmers lack more detailed farm data and a farm plan. In
addition, an insurance system can support by reducing risks in general
and climate related.

Therefore, the overall objective for this
action is to address issues surrounding the dairy value chain such as
access to services**, technology, credit, knowledge and management
capacity** to transform their subsistence farming towards a business
oriented and climate smart approach resulting in increased milk
production per animal and farm in a sustainable way. Support and better
access to services (feed, fodder, medicines, veterinary services)

important condition for farmers to increase their production. A

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSIGNMENT
Solidaridad
seeks to learn from the Dairy 2025 Pilot, its projects and strategic
choices, success and failures, so as to inform future strategic choices
and strengthen future programming. An evaluation should also serve
accountability purposes

To serve these two purposes, Solidaridad seeks to:
1.
Document the expected and unexpected, positive and negative, outcomes
and lessons learned so far of the strategy and approach, as implemented
in the dairy 2025 pilot in general, and the project portfolio in
particular, in the period 2018-2022.
2. Validate the assumptions in the ToC that can be used for designing future strategies.

The
output of the evaluation is a report that documents the answers to the
review questions, the progress made and results achieved as well as the
learning that has taken place, including an overview of how the
recommendations will be addressed. The report will also include
recommendations for future strategic choices

3.0 DELIVERABLES

The
overall purpose of this study is to assess the progress achieved
against the project interventions and provide quantitative and
qualitative interpretations on specific indicators as reflected in the
project M&E plan and provide suggestions to the project to improve
project support interventions in the project second phase. More
specifically, the study strives to achieve the following objectives:


To measure the positive and/or negative changes/outcomes taking place
to the cooperative which is offering service through a dairy hub.
● Building from the previous production, to provide evidence of project success or failure
● The trend of milk collection at the Tanga fresh processing plant from 2019 to 2022
A.
Establish collect data procedures to evaluate the transformational
impact of the project on the ground during the final evaluations as per
the project key performance indicators e.g. –
● No of farmers (HHs) with better access to affordable and quality services (feed, I, Veterinary, Extension, Finance)
● No of farmers with dairy cattle
● Raise in % average income per dairy farmer on milk sales
● Average increased volume of milk produced per cow
● Type of investment that has been done on farm since 2019

sustainability of outcomes?
3. To what extent is project Partners
contributing to the implementation of good practice demonstrated by the
project in future for sustainability of results?
