5 5of 63 What constitutes a good policy? Equitable Pro-poor - not based purely on profitability Inclusive Based on broad stakeholder consensus Evidence-based Policy analysis Practical Appropriate instruments, institutions and funding

6 6of 63 How do we arrive at a good policy? Engage in policy process Identify policy issue(s) Livelihoods analysis Clarify disputed issues Involve stakeholders Policy Implementation Consensus proposal for new policy or legislation

7 7of 63 How can EXTRAPOLATE help? Set up a coalition for change participation in the policy process Analyse the status quo common understanding of stakeholders and their constraints Identify policy options policy analysis Select optimal combinations of policy intervention participation / negotiation / communication

11 11 of 63 EXTRAPOLATE: Concept Built around 4 elements and their linkages Stakeholder groups the individuals on which policies have an impact (livelihood status) Constraints that prevent stakeholders from achieving desirable outcomes Outcomes measurable effects of relaxing constraints contribute to the livelihoods of stakeholders) Policies that impact on constraints

58 58 of 63 Key elements of a pro-poor policy Promote genetic improvement Strengthen delivery of veterinary services Provide appropriate extension services Improved market infrastructure and information Ensure quality control along the chain Increase local consumption to build a strong domestic market Promote efficiency in the input supply system Increased access to credit facilities

59 59 of 63 Key elements of a pro-poor policy This DOES NOT mean that genetic improvement and standards/regulation should be discouraged or dropped from the dairy policy This DOES mean that when these broad policy outcomes are disaggregated into their component parts (laws, strategies, institutions etc.) care needs to be taken to ensure that the poorer producers are not disadvantaged, and that their needs are also addressed

60 60 of 63 Impact Short term more analytical approach to policy development increased capacity within the livestock sector to analyse and formulate policies, and tools available to assist with this broader participation of stakeholders in the policy process heightened awareness among stakeholders of how their constraints can be addressed by policy and institutional change Long term A suite of policies, supporting legislation and institutional changes that address the needs of smallholder dairy producers and processors, and poor consumers

61 61 of 63 Lessons learned IF people have strongly opposing views BUT discussion is structured using a simple program (differences in technical capacity do not matter) discussion is informed by data / background studies a neutral and credible institution facilitates negotiation (FAO/PPLPI) THEN It is possible to reconcile positions and design broadly accepted pro-poor policies
