MilkIT is funded from Rome as a
Technical Assistance Grant (TAG)
TAG’s are regional in nature and
designed to provide research
support to IFAD investment
projects.
5. What is planned for
MilkIT?
Building on FAP
Further experimentation with
innovation approaches
Value chain analysis and action
research
Development of tools for feed and
market assessment
6. Objective
To contribute to improved dairy-
