Maziwa Zaidi (More Milk) in Tanzania Maziwa Zaidi: Lessons for ASDP-2 Component 3 Amos Omore1, Edgar Twine1 and Lusato Kurwijila21ILRI 2Sokoine University of AgricultureKey messagesMaziwa Zaidi lessons are relevant to ASDP-2 Component 3 on rural commercialization that emphasizes “market pull” factors. The lessons can be applied to strengthen and grow competitive value chains in the following areas: • Improving access and use of inputs and services including credit among pre-commercial producers• Increasing participation of smallholders in output markets• Improving enabling environment for value chain actors to generate innovationOpportunities to invest and scale• Focus on growing pre-commercial value chains• Public investments to strengthen partnerships involving upstream and systems research with problem-solving focus in value chains• Public and private investments to strengthen MSPs and research-extension linkages• Extrapolate lessons from Maziwa Zaidi to other high-value commodity value chains and enhance synergies across themPicturesRationale and approaches Weak private sector in many areas needs to grow. Opportunities for integrating MZ approaches into ASDP-2 Component 3:o Identify “crystallizing agents”, typically existing product and service delivery agents around whom multiple activities can coalesceo Support the strengthening of research–extension linkages and provision of extension services in commercially viable  ways through private sectoro Enhance local capacity of producers, other value chain agents and extension workers to operate through multi-stakeholder processes (MSPs) involving market hubs and innovation platformso Promote access to and use of ICT as a way of increasing access to critical information (ADGG project).Maziwa Zaidi thanks all donors and organizations which globally support the work of ILRI and its partners through their contributions to the CGIAR system.

Maziwa Zaidi (More Milk) in Tanzania Maziwa Zaidi: Lessons for ASDP-2 Component 2 Amos Omore1, Edgar Twine1 and Lusato Kurwijila21ILRI, 2Sokoine University of AgricultureKey messagesMaziwa Zaidi lessons are relevant to ASDP-2 Component 2 on enhanced agricultural productivity and profitability.The lessons can be applied in the following areas to enhance productivity growth for market-oriented priority commodities: • Strengthening linkages among research, extension and value chain agents• Applying the theory of change to agricultural R4D to support sustainable scaling of innovations• Farmer access to input markets Opportunities to invest and scale• Public and private sector investment in innovation platforms• Public sector investment in promoting collective action at producer level• Private investment in use of ICT to access market information on availability and prices of inputs services• Public sector investment in the use of the theory of change approach to strengthen AR4DPicturesRationale and approaches • Component 2 of ASDP-2 aims to increase and sustain productivity of priority commodities (crops, livestock and fish) so as to commercialize agriculture and improve household food security. It will target small commercial farmers.• The Maziwa Zaidi program, through its various projects, has addressed issues regarding low factor productivity in dairy value chains   • The dairy market hubs approach can be successfully adapted to Tanzania’s dairy value chains as an improved organizational model for increasing farm productivity and value chain partnerships• Strengthening collective action is fundamental to the success of commercialization and transformation of livestock sectorMaziwa Zaidi thanks all donors and organizations which globally support the work of ILRI and its partners through their contributions to the CGIAR system.
