Supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as part of the US government’s Feed the Future initiative, the program sets out to bridge ruminant livestock productivity gaps and to enhance the volume and value of ruminant livestock marketed through a wide-scale dissemination of proven livestock technologies and best practices. The program is implemented by the International Livestock Research Insitute (ILRI) working with a consortium of public institutions (Direction Nationale des Services Veterinaires, Direction Nationale des Productions et Industries Animales; Laboratoire Centrale Veterinaire, Instituit d’Economie Rurale), private sector organizations (private veterinarians, feed manufacturers) and non-governmental organizations such as the Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, the Association Malienne d’Eveil et de Développement Durable (AMEDD), and the Agronomes et Vétérinaires sans Frontières (AVSF). FTF MLTSP also collaborates with ongoing FTF projects such as Livestock for Growth and other rural development programs in Mali that are pursuing similar objectives in order to create synergies among them.

The overarching goal of FTF-MLTSP is to contribute to inclusive growth in ruminant livestock value chains for increased income, food and nutrition security for 266,000 cattle, sheep and goat keepers and other value chains actors in the Mopti, Timbuktu and Sikasso regions, hence lifting them out of poverty. FTF-MLTSP is set out to bridge ruminant livestock productivity gaps and to improve access to more remunerative markets through a large- scale dissemination of proven livestock technologies and best practices in the target regions. This reports highlights progress in the FTF-MLTSP implementation, achievements, and challenges encountered during October 2016 to September 2017 period. Program management During the fiscal year, staffing of the project coordination team was completed and the foundation for strong partnership with a number on implementing partners was laid out. Eight sub-awards were granted to various public and private implementing partners (Table 1) with extension, development or research mandates. By September 2017, the amendments of eight of the sub-awards were signed
