Development and testing of the VCA tool-kit
Selection and training of facilitators The VCA tool-kit components The application of the VCA tool-kit

Data input and analysis
Selection of Target Sites (1)
Step 1: Geographical targeting using GIS characterization (pig density, poverty level & market access).
Step 2: Stakeholder consultation of step 1 and definition of “soft” criteria.
Step 3: Participatory selection of districts by stakeholders (Outcome Mapping & Site Selection Workshop, Oct. 2012)
Step 4: Minimum checklist to gather data for more specific site selection (counties and sub-counties).
Step 5: Analysis of steps 1-4 and final site selection.

Selection of Target Sites (2)
For each district, 4-6 sub-counties with high pig population (MAAIF/UBOS Livestock Census 2008) were selected.
Consultations with partners (DVOs, NAADS staff and local NGOs) in each of the selected districts to identify the value chain domains within the sub-counties was done.
Site scoping with a minimum checklist administered to few farmers and actors to validate the value chain domains in each sub-county and also identify villages to be targeted for the value chain activities.

domains, and number of villages sampled
35 villages selected: 18 Rural – Rural, 7 Rural – Urban and 10 Urban - Urban
Development & Testing of the VCA tool-kit
Review and adaptation of tools used in other CRP 3.7 projects, as well as in the Livestock Data Innovation in Africa project (CRP 2.3).
Tool-kit harmonized with the Safe Food Fair Food project (CRP 4.3).
Tool-kit engendered where appropriate.
Tool-kit tested in Matuga (Wakiso). Tool-kit shared with the Smallholder
Pig VCs project in Vietnam.
The VCA tool-kit components
Seasonal calendar Institutional interactions tool Production systems tool Social capital – involvement in collective action and
benefits. Activity clock – gender roles in production and
marketing. Decision-making tool –decision making and control
of resources. Livelihood analysis – income sources. Value chain mapping Animal health Breeding Feeding Food safety and nutrition
Selection & Training of Facilitators
Partners were contacted to propose candidates for the facilitators short-term positions.
Eight facilitators were selected from a list of 18 applicants. Two were maintained as replacement option.
Two facilitators are graduate students at Makerere University, sponsored by ILRI. They will use some VCA data for their thesis.
All facilitators were trained and participated in testing the VCA tool-kit.
The application of the VCA tool-kit at district / village level (1)
Farmers for VCA sessions selected at random from lists provided by local partners
Launching workshops with district authorities and technical staff.
Review of VCA tool-kit with district technical staff, and coordination of field work.
The application of the VCA tool-kit at district / village level (2)
Plenary session to introduce all participants to the VCA tool-kit.
Farmers’ focus group discussions.
Farmers distributed at random in groups, with two facilitators per group, to work on specific tools.
Mixed or gender disaggregated groups according to the nature of the tools applied.
The application of the VCA tool-kit at district / village level (3)
Separate focus group discussion with key-informants (information at village level).
Plenary session to review/discuss constraints and opportunities identified in small groups working with specific technology components.
The application of the VCA tool-kit at district / village level (4)
Key informants Mixed group
Only women Plenary sessionAfter a long VCA week, a socialgathering in a pork joint
