EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PRIME is a five-year, USAID-funded initiative designed to support resilience among pastoralist communities in Ethiopia, and thus enhance prospects for a long-term development in Ethiopia‟s dryland landscape where the pastoralist livelihood system prevails. Financed through Feed the Future (FTF) and Global Climate Change (GCC) facilities, PRIME is designed to be transformative, innovative and achieve scale through market-driven approaches to livestock production and livelihood diversification that simultaneously support dryland communities to adapt to a changing climate. In order to achieve its overall goal of Increasing Household Incomes and Enhancing Resilience to Climate Change through Market Linkages, the program works to meet the following five major objectives (intermediate results): 1) Improved productivity and competitiveness of livestock and livestock products; 2) Enhanced pastoralists‟ adaptation to climate change; 3) Strengthened alternative livelihoods for households transitioning out of pastoralism; 4) Ensure enhanced innovation, learning and knowledge management; and 5) Improved nutritional status of targeted households improved through targeted, sustained and evidence-based interventions. This report summarizes the key activities implemented, and the associated accomplishments for PRIME over the period of January 1 through March 31, 2014, which is the sixth quarter (second quarter, second year) of program implementation. During the quarter, PRIME continued to build on the foundation activities that were started in the previous quarter. The following is a brief summary of the key highlights and achievements by the project‟s objectives: 1. Improved productivity and competitiveness of livestock and livestock products During the Quarter the IR1 PRIME time focused on further development and implementation of activities in all target regions towards meeting the key results of the project. In order to improve productivity in key livestock market systems, PRIME conducted series of refresher trainings for CAHWS and pastoral producers; trainings in animal feed production, conservation and utilization for women pastoral groups as well as training in business management for PVPs and livestock traders. In addition, work was conducted in implementing the small scale competitive business expansion grants for expansion of the private veterinarian pharmacies networks, establishment and improvement of milk collection points, establishment of livestock feedlots and holding grounds and increased animal feed production. In order to improve market linkages within the market actors in key value chains and market systems, PRIME conducted and facilitated the participation of diversified target market actors to the Ethiopian Somali Regional Agricultural Fair and the Gulffood Fair in Dubai. In addition, preparations were conducted for facilitating the exposure and market linkage of PRIME target beneficiaries to the PRIME supported Regional Agricultural Fair in Borena and the African Livestock Exhibition and Conference, activities that will be conducted in the next Quarter. Market linkage events were conducted to also provide direct B2B familiarization of PVPs and animal health products wholesalers in the Southern Cluster.
