Feed the Future Ethiopia Value Chain Activity | Six Month Progress Report 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 PROJECT SUMMARY USAID’s Feed the Future Ethiopia Value Chain Activity is a five-year activity (January 2017 – December 2021) funded as part of the US government’s Feed the Future Initiative and the Government of Ethiopia’s (GoE) Agricultural Growth Program (AGP) II, Component Four: Agriculture Marketing and Value Chains. Under AGP II, the Feed the Future Ethiopia Value Chain Activity will contribute to the GoE’s objective of improving agricultural productivity and the commercialization of smallholder farmers through an inclusive value chain and market systems development strategy that integrates nutrition-sensitive interventions, climate-smart agriculture, and USAID/Ethiopia’s push-pull strategy. The activity expects to reach at least 1.5 million rural farmers with improved technologies, and prioritizes work across select AGP II value chains (maize, coffee, chickpea, dairy, livestock, and poultry) within 43 focus woredas located in , SNNPR, Amhara, and Tigray. The Feed the Future Ethiopia Value Chain Activity approach emphasizes collaboration at all levels, from strengthening commercial relationships between smallholder farmers and agribusinesses, to building consensus and action around key constraints to enhance value chain efficiency and induce growth. The strategy mainstreams gender and youth to ensure transformative change, and monitors progress from baseline to quantifiably report on impact. It is underpinned by high-quality technical assistance, strategic use of sub-awards tied to field demonstrations and trainings, and a rigorous program of field-based support and monitoring, evaluation, and learning. Activities will be implemented in collaboration with partners and stakeholders in targeted woredas and strategically selected kebeles. This six month progress report gives an account of activities and results from January 1, 2017 – June 30, 2017. It highlights progress and milestones in mobilization, details engagement with partners, and provides a strategic outline of current and future interventions to achieve overall activity goals. 1.2 GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS

The main focus area for the Feed Figure 1: AGP1 and AGP2 WOREDAS the Future Ethiopia Value Chain Activity partnership support to AGPII will be across Component 4 – Agriculture Marketing and Value Chains. Sub-components include Support agricultural input supply system (4.1); Support farmer organizations (4.2); Support agribusiness development (4.3); and Support market infrastructure development and management. This broad mandate includes interventions at national, regional, zonal, and woreda level. The scale of target woredas included in AGPII involved a significant expansion from the

AGPI, as shown in Table 1 and the map. AGPII involves a total number of 157 woredas. The parallel Agricultural Commercialization Cluster approach used by the ATA involves a total of 239 woredas; of which some 95 overlap with AGPII woredas. The woreda selection criteria for the activity includes the following factors:  Presence of the Six selected value chains involving significant production and commercial activities  Synergy with AGPII and ACC woredas  The resource and logistic constraints for the activity to avoid over-stretching ourselves  Synergy and layering with other Feed the Future projects and Donor programs Final selection of woredas is contingent upon discussions at regional level with the respective Bureau of Agriculture and AGP staff. Regional engagement and consultation is seen as a critical part of the process and the activity can expect some give-and-take negotiations to keep the final woreda areas operationally simple and sensible. 2. MOBILIZATION

2.1 IN-COUNTRY MOBILIZATION The activity mobilization plan was submitted to USAID on January 10, 2017 and approved on January 17, 2017. This plan outlined the agenda to ensure seamless start-up of the activity at onset. Fintrac’s rapid start-up team was mobilized as soon as possible and arrived in on January 15, 2017. The start-up team prioritized resources needed to support inception deliverables and ensure proper policies and procedures were in place. The team immediately secured temporary office space and began to procure needed equipment for the initial start-up phase of the program. In-country operational activities were initiated including work visas for three expats on the activity, the process for company registration and other necessary approvals and waivers. Strategic work planning sessions were held with key personnel already in country, supported by the start-up team and other Fintrac home office employees. All key personnel were in Addis Ababa by February 12, 2017 to begin working on the on the activity’s first set of deliverables. Informal meetings were conducted with stakeholder consultations across multiple value chains with both public and private sector constituents to obtain critical input for analyses, and buy- in for future collaborative technical activities. On February 9, 2017 Fintrac’s President Claire Starkey arrived in Addis Ababa and, with the assistance of the COP, led an internal meeting with key personnel on the activity and how best to approach implementation. While in Ethiopia, Fintrac’s President also met with key USAID/Ethiopia staff including Deputy Mission Director Ramona El Hamzaoui, and Office Chief, Economic Growth and Transformation Office Stephen Morin. For the first six months of implementation, activity personnel worked from a smaller temporary Addis Ababa office space, including regional employees who alternated between working in Addis Ababa and their homes of record. Activities concentrated on hiring staff, implementing policies and procedures, and completing start-up deliverables. 2.2 START-UP DELIVERABLES Mobilization Plan In January 2017, a mobilization plan (contract deliverable #1) was finalized and submitted to USAID. The plan included details on all aspects of activity startup including personnel; facilities; procurement and

Feed the Future Ethiopia Value Chain Activity | Six Month Progress Report logistics; subcontracts and GUC; communications; monitoring and evaluation; finance and accounting; and annual work plan and inception deliverables; as well as a plan for staff mobilization. Work Plan The finalized work plan (contract deliverable #2) was submitted on April 4, 2017, and approved on April 17, 2017 with the provision that it will be necessary to revise the work plan according to circumstantial developments that will likely alter the scale and scope of work, as well as activity interventions. Work plan development is ongoing, including reformatting and aligning within the AGP reporting system in preparation for upcoming launch events. Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Plan The finalized Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) plan (contract deliverable #5) was submitted in May 2017 and approved on June 1, 2017. The plan outlines the activity’s approach to accurately measure program impact on beneficiaries, incorporate feedback loops to foster adaptive management, and manage performance. A baseline survey will be conducted beginning in July 2017 in collaboration with a local subcontractor. The subcontractor has already been selected through a competitive process and final technical and cost negotiations are taking place. The activity is in the process of revising the baseline questionnaire, which covers topics from household composition and demographics, sales and productivity of the targeted value chains, and financing and credit based on feedback received from USAID. After revision is complete, the team is planning to meet with USAID and Social Impact to further refine and finalize the questionnaire. The activity currently has 28 indicators per the approved MEL plan which broadly align with AGP II. Targets are subject to change upon results of the baseline survey and regional consultation. The activity is expecting changes in the final set of indicators as a result of the new Global Food Security Strategy. EMMP The finalized EMMP (contract deliverable #4) was approved by USAID on April 3, 2017. The plan received positive feedback and was praised as a model for future projects. In addition, the COR requested that an activity-specific PERSUAP be provided, and development is underway. Grants under Contract and Subawards Manual The subawards manual (contract deliverable #9) was submitted to USAID in July 2017. This manual provides a strategic overview of subaward mechanisms – including subcontracts and grants – which will be utilized under this contract and procedures for their development and implementation; and also includes Fintrac’s internal subaward guidelines, templates, flow-down clauses, and guidelines on the use of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs). Value Chain Analyses and Cost Benefic Analysis Per contract deliverable #7, the activity is required to submit five updated value chain studies for maize, coffee, chickpea, livestock, and dairy; complete a value chain and cost benefit analysis for poultry; and provide short briefs on sesame, honey, and wheat. Two international consultants have been selected and approved by USAID to support preparation of the analyses. The consultants will conduct a desk review, design a field survey, analyze market and trade dynamics, interview informants, and assist in the draft of reports for submission to USAID. It is expected that the two international consultants will be supported by two local Ethiopian consultants. Analysis activities are scheduled to begin in August 2017 with the first draft to be submitted by October 14, 2017.

3.1 FORMAL PARTNERSHIPS USAID/Ethiopia and Ministry of Agriculture The MOU between USAID and the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources (MoANR) defines the overarching bi-lateral relationship governing the activity. The specific and comprehensive relationship between the activity and the Agricultural Growth Program (AGP) is defined within the Program Implementation Manual, which includes operational scopes of work and reporting structures at both Federal and Regional level. The MoU and implementation modalities through the AGP, by association includes close working relationships with the various Government of Ethiopia agencies including the Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA), the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries (MoLF), the Ministry of Trade, the Federal Cooperative Agency, the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR), and the Coffee and Tea Authority. Although the MOU includes both a federal and regional perspective, the working relationship between the activity and the Bureau of Agriculture and equivalent agencies at regional level is defined through a process of communication, coordination, and mutual respect, which has to be maintained throughout the life of project to ensure smooth operations. The consultation and extension process within AGP is bottom-up starting from kebele to woreda to zone culminating in independent regional work plans, budgets, and implementation strategies. These are then aggregated at federal level through the AGP Coordination Unit for overall monitoring and reporting. The AGP II scope of work covers a wide range of crop and livestock activities, as well as the elements of nutrition, gender, and youth mainstreaming. The activity maintains a parallel relationship with the MoLF in terms of a supplementary scope of work associated with specific sections of the Livestock Master Plan (LMP). A similar parallel relationship with the Ministry of Trade focusses on promotion of export crops and international marketing functions. 3.2 INFORMAL PARTNERSHIPS The first six months have been characterized by an extensive process of stakeholder mapping involving face-to-face meetings between activity staff and key decision makers to inform and guide on respective operations and identify areas of synergy, overlap, and potential duplication. The entities include other Feed the Future programs, cooperative unions and primary cooperatives, international and local NGO’s, private sector associations and individual companies, research institutions, and various other cross-cutting organizations. These entities have been listed in Annex 1 as a reference summary of the initial pool of partnerships that will support and govern the activity implementation.

4.1 CONTINUITY OF PROGRAM ACTIVITIES The initial priority for the activity was to identify areas of continuity to the grantees supported under the AGP Livestock and Market Development program which is phasing out in October 2017. These grantees include small-scale milk collection centers managed by groups of local dairy farmers and individual entrepreneurs, who have invested in cold chain facilities to service marketing contracts with local retailers and a bulk supply channel to larger milk processors. Another category of grantees includes Technicians providing farmers with access to improved genetics through a mobile on-farm service of Artificial Insemination to improve milk and beef productivity. The activity has conducted a series of consultative workshops in Tigray, Amhara, SNNPR, and Oromia to update on the grantee’s individual business plans and to clarify priority areas for support going forward. The level of participation in the regional workshops has been summarized in Table 1. Table 1: Milk Collection Centers & Artificial Insemination Service Provider Consultative Meeting Attendees Tigray Amhara SNNPR Oromia Total Attendee Male Female Total Male Female Total Male Female Total Male Female Total Male Female Total AI 11 11 20 3 23 17 1 18 31 1 32 79 5 84 technicians MCC 13 2 15 26 8 34 11 6 17 21 7 28 71 23 94 leaders Other 3 3 3 3 15 15 2 2 23 23 participants Total 27 2 29 49 11 60 43 7 50 54 8 62 173 28 201 This group of grantees is a stepping-stone for the activity to widen outreach across the dairy sector, strengthen complimentary activities in forage and feed production, and expand a comprehensive range of commercialization initiatives across the meat and live animal sectors. Areas of continuity from the AGP Agricultural Marketing Development program (AGP-AMD) include market support and trade promotion for the coffee sector in collaboration with the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange and Export Associations, utilization of warehouse infrastructure for crop aggregation and input distribution, and capacity-building across selected primary cooperatives. The activity has added to this base with new support for business-to-business platforms for maize and chickpea value chains to encourage and expand domestic sales, value addition, and processing functions, and export trade opportunities including the EAC, Middle East, and the wider global markets. 4.2 FALL ARMY WORM The first six months of the activity was also characterized by a growing awareness of the impact of the spread of Fall Army Worm (FAW) across major maize-production belts in the country. Given that maize is the largest crop in Ethiopia, planted every year on 2 million hectares involving some 9 million households, this new pest has the potential to strike a major blow to national food security. As a result, activity staff have become heavily involved in the various FAW Task Forces coordinated through the FAO and MoANR. Additional scientific and technical support from the Feed the Future Integrated Pest Management Innovation Lab is helping guide and inform local actors in developing effective action plans to mitigate the immediate impact of the pest. The activity is taking a lead in hosting an implementing partners meeting in July to inform and coordinate a Safer Use Action Plan (SUAP) in response to the FAW PERSUAP that was released by the IPM Innovation Lab in May 2017.

4.3 CAPACITY BUILDING Sub-Purpose 3 of the AGP II scope of work relates to an “improved enabling environment in support of agricultural transformation.” In response, the activity is conducting two rounds of capacity building training for high-level officials from the federal ministries, regional bureaus and associated agencies. The training courses scheduled for July and August will focus on pertinent topics in agriculture change in Ethiopia to enhance implementation of the agricultural transformation plan. Participants include deputy bureau heads, directors, process owners, and team leaders drawn from extension, research, cooperative agency, seed enterprise, planning, input, AGP, production, and marketing. They will explore and analyze the value chain approach to smallholder commercialization and how this is being linked to AGP II, Agricultural Commercialization Clusters, and Growth and Transformation Programs. 5. LOOKING AHEAD

The signing of the MOU between USAID and the MoANR in July will trigger a series of launch events for the activity in July and August to inform and clarify the activity scope and strategic focus to a wide audience of stakeholders at both the regional and federal levels. This will be followed by intensive technical discussions on regional work plans that build on the previous consultation process, prior to consolidation at the AGP-FCU. In turn this will initiate a broad expansion of support for technical training and direct extension support across all the value chains in selected woredas, up-scaling of capacity building initiatives, and a comprehensive layering of marketing and agribusiness support across the focus regions. Other specific priorities for the next six-month period include the following:  Set up permanent office in Addis Ababa and all four regional offices.  Conduct baseline survey involving a representative sample of approximately 43 woredas.  Update Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) including revision of indicators according to new GFSS guidelines and dialogue with USAID.  Develop and implement Gender Action Plan within the work planning process.  Develop Youth in Agribusiness strategy and incorporate into work planning process.  Expand linkages with the Feed the Future Growth through Nutrition program to define optimal approaches and synergies for Agri-Nutrition activities.  Update activity-specific PERSUAP including clarity on the activity support for the FAW issue.  Conduct value chain analyses for the maize, chickpea, coffee, dairy, meat and live animal sectors.  Conduct cost benefit and value chain analysis for poultry sector and hold discussions with USAID on including this value chain in the activity scope of work from 2018 onwards.  Scale up staffing and infrastructure capacity at regional and national level.  Begin initial solicitations for partnership activities using the Grants under Contract mechanism.  Continue negotiations with subcontractor International Medical Corporation to assist in the activity’s nutritional work.
