The right tool for the job
The aim of this tool is to support the wider popularization and replication of the Kenya Dairy Sector
Competitiveness Program (KDSCP) to support small enterprise development and business
environment reform and enable large numbers of small dairy enterprises to grow. This practical but
innovative tool highlights the know-how for guiding Land O' Lakes facilitators/ practitioners to design
and implement business development service (BDS) programs. It is a resource „pack‟ designed to
comprehensively guide upscale and replication via the documentation of the key learning points,
critical success factors and underlying desirable factors for success. It highlights the models,
approaches and methodologies required to enable interested practitioners to learn from and improve
upon KDSCP successes in other environments. It gives insights into factors leading to success, what
makes up the ideal environment and pre-conditions for market systems development. The tool also
captures the essence of efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability as well as the opportunities for impact
of the program model.
This tool is designed to instruct Land O' Lakes support facilitators to design programs based on BDS
best practice. This includes engaging with local facilitators who in turn partner with and capacity build
sector stakeholders such as service providers, cooperatives and dairy farmers. It scopes out
facilitation roles, approaches and principles to guide the super facilitator and local facilitator. It also
and defines the monitoring components, performance indicators, costs and budgeting plus key project
management issues relating to its success.
This toolkit is split into 3 sections for ease of reference and at the end of each section you will see the
following symbols which will summarize the critical success factors, learning points and desirable
factors of the intervention - CLICK TO GO:
