We are glad to share with you a new call for experts for a value chain analysis in Burundi on Milk.
The profiles are detailed below. Each expert will have 55 working days (60 for the team leader).
The period for the study is September 2020– April 2021.
NB: the period of implementation might vary depending on the COVID-19 restrictions. Missions to Burundi shall be allowed (upon COVID-19 negative testing) as of October 2020.

THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL DIFFER: it will include a standard study (undertaken by using the VCA4D methodology toolkit, as described in the ‘Methodological Brief. Tools and Methods’. https://europa.eu/capacity4dev/value-chain-analysis-for-development-vca4d-/documents/methodological-brief-v12. ) plus a capacity building component.

Context
In the 11th EDF, rural development and nutrition in Burundi are financed by the EU with an envelope of up to 80MEUR via projects (budget support and cooperation with the Government are suspended given that Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement is activated). Actions focus on resilience, as well as support for entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector (including with a value chain approach). In 2018 a VCA4D analysis was done on banana in Burundi, and the EUD is also cooperating with Agrinatura via the ATAB (Assistance Technique Agrinatura au Burundi). The EUD requested a VCA4D analysis on the milk VC and also aims at strengthening the national capacities to perform VCAs according to the VCA4D methodology. Therefore for this assignment, the team of 3 Agrinatura experts will work in twinning with 3 national experts selected via ATAB.
Strategic for the country food security and identified as a priority by the Government, milk is produced in the whole of Burundi. From a market perspective, there are 2 main sub-cains: the artisanal traditional one, and a modern industrial one that is developing with a raising role of the private sector. A number of donors and national actors have projects focussing on the milk VC, although they lack a complete and multidisciplinary analysis of the VC.
The VCA4D analysis will help to establish a baseline against which to measure changes in the milk VC. The analysis will focus on understanding the opportunities and bottlenecks for the inclusive and sustainable development of this VC. This information will be used by actors to improve their projects, policies, dialogue and approaches.
Experts’ profiles: NB Agrinatura experts will work in twinning with national counterparts. The call for national experts will be launched soon and managed by ATAB
