• Présentation de l'activité / objectifs

Via un processus consultatif et participation entre les différents acteurs concernés, idenfication des thématiques prioritaires pour la recherche en santé animale en Afrique sub-saharienne, destinées à être financées ultérieurement si possible par le biais d'un Challenge Program (à compléter).

• Présentation du processus de consultation

(à traduire)
A consultative process has been adopted involving key research and development stakeholders through: a series of visits to key stakeholders which will produce a database of stakeholders to be involved in the consultation and a comprehensive set of selected questions to be posed in a stakeholder questionnaire survey.
A stakeholder questionnaire that will provide information that will serve as a basis for an inclusive and effective stakeholder consultative workshop.
A stakeholder consultative workshop that will confirm and validate the stakeholder priorities, agree on the outlines of a strategy to be developed by the task force and agree to priority research actions to be further developed into concrete business plans within the CAADP framework and sub-regional priorities for agricultural research.
 
The consultant is currently engaged in phases 1 and 2 above.

 The output of the consultancy will be a draft research programme aimed at enabling African livestock producers to advantageously access local, regional and global markets for livestock and livestock products in the context of identified changes that are occurring in the supply of livestock products, the requirements of the various markets and provision of support services. Particular focus will be placed on addressing issues surrounding animal health constraints on accessing these markets.

 To achieve this output, the consultants Dr. Simba Sibanda and Dr. Mulumba Kamuanga have already started to go through the following steps:

1. Design a programme of interviews with key stakeholders including those indicated in the background.  Due to budget and time constraints the majority of these interviews will be conducted electronically.

2. Design and validate a questionnaire for the interviews that takes into account the current ALive deliberations.  The questionnaire will be focused around key issues with a view to determining the highest priority pragmatic research propositions.

3. Using ALive documentation, information gathered from stakeholder consultations and the questionnaire the consultant will prepare a report for a stakeholders’ workshop that will:
a.      Describe the process;
b.      Provide the rationale for the priorities ranking of research propositions;
c.       Provide justification for each of the highest priority propositions in the context of CAADP, the SRO priorities and the gaps left after taking into account the ongoing research being undertaken by African and non-African research institutions active in Africa;
d.      Seek the ALive Task Force’s confirmation of priority propositions;

4. Produce a draft research programme

5. Organise a pre-workshop meeting of members of the Coordination Task Force chaired by FARA and other key stakeholders to review the draft report and confirm the priorities

 The stakeholders that your refer to, i.e. NEPAD, AU-IBAR, FARA, ILRI, IFPRI, CIRAD, IAH, FAO/AGAH and AGAL, OIE, and EISMV and others referred to in the concept note are being consulted independently and will be invited to the stakeholder consultative workshop that will have two clear objectives:

1.   to review the report of the Consultant and indicate corrections of inclusions and omissions and provide feedback on the suggestions and recommendations.
2.   to develop bankable funding proposals for the highest priority research in animal health issues related to African access to markets for livestock and livestock products.
