This policy note aims at providing practical and evidence-based recommendations to improve the enabling environment and subsequently increase sustainable investments in the whole dairy value chain (VC) in Ethiopia. The relevance of this policy note relies on the fact that to date, there are multiple assessment and studies that have been conducted on the VC but – to the authors' knowledge – no study has yet attempted to study the linkages between the challenges as well as to determine which challenges faced by VC actors are effectively enabling environment factors. In other words, building from these multiple studies and some specific studies, this note aims at going one step further by mapping the different challenges found in the VC assessments, as several of them are closely intertwined (like land size affecting both feeding and effective cattle management), as well as determining at what scale the challenges impact the VC. For instance, some factors have a national level impact (i.e. they are a national enabling environment factor, affecting most or all VC actors), others have a regional level impact (i.e. a regional enabling environmental factor, affecting only the VC actors of a specific region), while others heavily depend on the individual characteristics of the VC actors.

Using sustainable food value chain development (SFVCD) approaches to reduce poverty presents both great opportunities and daunting challenges. SFVCD requires a systems approach to identifying root problems, innovative thinking to find effective solutions and broad-based partnerships to implement programmes that have an impact at scale. In practice, however, a misunderstanding of its fundamental nature can easily result in value-chain projects having limited or non-sustainable impact. Furthermore, development practitioners around the world are learning valuable lessons from both failures and successes, but many of these are not well disseminated. This new set of handbooks aims to address these gaps by providing practical guidance on SFVCD to a target audience of policy-makers, project designers and field practitioners. This first handbook provides a solid conceptual foundation on which to build the subsequent handbooks. It (1) clearly defines the concept of a sustainable food value chain; (2) presents and discusses a development paradigm that integrates the multidimensional concepts of sustainability and value added; (3) presents, discusses and illustrates ten principles that underlie SFVCD; and (4) discusses the potential and limitations of using the value-chain concept in food-systems development. By doing so, the handbook makes a strong case for placing SFVCD at the heart of any strategy aimed at reducing poverty and hunger in the long run.
