Project Evaluation and Design of Follow-On Action ''Improving and Integrating Animal Health Services in the Livestock Value Chain Through Public-Private Dialogue'' (2014)

Ahead of the 11th European Development Fund (EDF) programming exercise, the EU Delegation decided to execute an Overall Project Evaluation towards the end of the LVC-PPD (IMPROVING AND INTEGRATING ANIMAL HEALTH SERVICES IN THE LIVESTOCK VALUE CHAIN THROUGH PUBLIC PRIVATE DIALOGUE IN ETHIOPIA) implementation period that will provide policy-relevant, actionable and evidence based lessons and recommendations that will guide the identification of a follow-on project and inform its formulation.

The project evaluation team (ET) held discussions concerning the project performance with over 100 livestock sector stakeholders inclusive of private sector actors, non government organizations (NGOs), private and public technical experts, veterinary schools, Tufts University, International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), (Food and Agriculture Organisation) FAO, DVS case teams, donor agencies (USAID, DfID, EU), senior staff from the Ministry of Agriculture (DVS, ATA and State Ministry of Livestock Sector Development) and the MoFED.
