  1. Site Selection Process for Discussion – Ethiopia small-ruminants VC Ethiopia small-ruminants VC meeting (1st June 2012, Addis Ababa)

  2. Site Selection Process - Generic • Proposed steps: • Geographical targeting to carry out broad-brush assessment of countries - identification of potential regions for selection using GIS • Stakeholder consultations (ground-truthing of Step 1 and finalise checklist for Step 3) • Minimum checklist to gather data for more specific site selection • Analysis of Step 1 – 3 and Site selection • Feasibility study, for a more in-depth assessment – Use later for within site intervention identification • Feasibility study analysis • Mobilization and activities in selected sites can now start

  3. Site Selection Process – Ethiopia considerations • Proposed steps: • Geographical targeting to carry out broad-brush assessment of countries - identification of potential regions for selection using GIS – Initial layers to be circulated and discussions to agree important layers / recommendation domains • Stakeholder consultations (ground-truthing of Step 1 and finalise checklist for Step 3) – Need National (EIAR / Min of Ag) level to narrow down to region/zone level & then Regional meeting to narrow down to woreda level • Minimum checklist to gather more specific data from potential sites & to confirm the representativeness /beneficiary population size etc. • Analysis of Step 1 – 3 and Site selection • Feasibility study, for a more in-depth assessment – Use later for within site intervention identification • Feasibility study analysis • Mobilization and activities in selected sites can now start

  4. Additional Issues…. • How big is a ‘site’? Activities may happen throughout site or in specific areas within a site? Site needs to include a range of value-chain stages and “market domains”? Number of sites? • Links to other projects - differing objectives, 3.7 sites and project sites may overlap, considered during Step 2-4 minimum dataset & ground-truthing, could also apply in Step 1 as spatial over-lay of criteria already agreed. • How/when to categorise regions into target “market domains”: Rural-to-Rural (R2R), Rural-to-Urban (R2U), Rural-to-Export (R2E), Urban-to-Export (U2E) • E.g. Tz/cattle VC will use thresholds of ‘travel time to medium/large town’ to categorise • Does a site encompass some/all “market domains” or are regions ‘stratified’ by “market domain”?

  5. Step 1 – Geographical targeting • What layers to use? • 9+ provided in initial targeting document • In other VC’s discussions resulted in a combination of – production system, human / livestock population, market access*, poverty levels • Potential regions identified – need ground-truthing and narrowing down to lower level (woreda?) during stakeholder consultations (during Step 2)

  6. Step 1 – Production systems

  7. Step 1 – Poverty levels

  8. Step 1 – Sheep densities

  9. Step 2 - 4 – Stakeholder Consultations & Minimum checklist ‘data’ collection and analysis • Stakeholder consultations to ground-truth spatial targeting, narrow down on regions & finalise checklist • What is in the checklist? • “Impact” indicators (e.g. existing market, number of producers) • “Ease of assistance” indicators (e.g. existing groups, other projects, political situation) • Incorporates additional ‘qualitative criteria’, e.g. potential partners, synergies with other projects • Data collected in the regions • Data analysis – scoring / ranking of regions

  10. Step 5 & 6 – Feasibility Study & Analysis • Discussion as to if this is part of initial site selection or more targeted and appropriate for ‘Intervention site’ selection • What is in the checklist? • Economic, Financial, Market, Management, Technical data • Quantitative & qualitative data, several aspects may provide ‘baseline’ information • Data collected in the regions – discussions with key stakeholders • Data reviewed by 3.7 Team

  11. Timing & People… for discussion • Detailed plan provided on wiki
