Programme identity & development rationale
About SAFE DAIRY AFRICA
A proposed Kenya-focused One Health programme connecting dairy food security, animal health and milk safety through research, demonstration and institutional cooperation.
Why an integrated programme?
Milk quality depends on more than testing. Herd health, veterinary access, hygienic handling, reliable records and climate-resilient husbandry interact across the dairy system. The proposal brings these functions into a shared evidence and delivery framework.
The programme is being developed as a grant-led public-good intervention. Its €23.0M envelope and 48-month duration are indicative, with geographical scope, partner agreements and a costed delivery model still to be validated.
Development-stage transparency
What is established—and what is pending.
Programme framework
The proposal sets out seven objectives, six pillars, eight work packages and a four-year delivery pathway. These are design commitments, not delivered activities.
Institutional arrangements
The implementing entity is named. Consortium members, technical appointments, oversight membership and formal agreements are not evidenced here.
Appraisal prerequisites
Confirm delivery counties, baseline methods, verified laboratory capacity, detailed costs, safeguards and institutional ownership before seeking an implementation commitment.
Seven connected objectives.
Embed One Health in dairy systems
Align human, animal and environmental health through shared surveillance, coordinated protocols and institutional cooperation.
Improve dairy food security
Demonstrate safe, reliable and resource-efficient dairy production and milk-handling practices.
Strengthen animal health and disease control
Improve prevention, early detection, veterinary linkages and responsible antimicrobial stewardship.
Advance safe milk research and innovation
Validate context-appropriate testing, quality assurance and milk-safety solutions against baseline evidence.
Build trusted digital animal records
Establish 100,000+ proposed animal records with traceability, data-quality checks and privacy safeguards.
Enable inclusive, climate-smart adoption
Reach a proposed 25,000 farmers with practical learning and demonstrations designed for smallholders, women and young people.
Support cooperation and institutional uptake
Connect Kenya and EU–Africa research and implementation expertise, enabling local ownership and replication.
A shared opportunity
Partner in a healthier dairy future.
For institutional donors, foundations, DFIs and research and implementation partners.
