About Bridge+
Building on the experiences and achievements of the first phase of the
project (BRIDGE), BRIDGE+ works toward ‘Making the Dairy
Sector Attractive’ through creating a dairy Value Chain with
inclusive and sustainable benefits for all its participants,
including wider society, with particular focus on smallholder
farmers within the mixed farming system. BRIDGE+ mainly focuses on specific targets to support smallholder farmers who keep crossbred cows to increase productivity, through improving and creating access to the
required dairy farm inputs, extension and professional services, and efficient output market linkages. For a broader sector level impact, BRIDGE+ works toward intensification of production, professionalisation, improved efficiency, and establishment of effective governance mechanisms at commercial dairy farm, dairy cooperative leadership, nutrition, food safety control and regulation levels.
In response to the growing consumer concern and population and economic growth, the demand for quality food products including animal source foods is increasing in Ethiopia. Nevertheless, the 66 liters per capita milk consumption remainsbelow the 200 liters recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for countries with high rates of chronic undernutrition, with a low proportion of children meeting the requirements for minimum acceptable diets including milk and milk products. The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) has been supportive of the Ethiopian dairy sector development for the past 15 years through several dairy value chain development projects namely Business Organizations and Access to Market (BOAM), DairyBiss, Enhancing Dairy Growth for Ethiopian smallholder farmers (EDGET), Building Rural Income through inclusive Dairy Growth in Ethiopia (BRIDGE), and now BRIDGE+, the continuation of the BRIDGE project with a national scope of contributing toward sector transformation.
