Upgrading the milk value chain through the establishment of an interprofessional organization.

This policy brief focuses on the dynamics initiated by the Senegalese public authorities for the development of the livestock subsector, in particular dairy production. Work under the project « Improving the resilience of smallholder farmers in North and West Africa through the upgrading of women-managed milk value chains » identified a critical need to restructure the value chain for upgrading. The transfer of consultation and regulation functions to professionals in the sector, with the support of the public authorities, is presented as an alternative for improving the economic and social performance of the milk sector.
