addis_stakeholder_partnering

=**Stakeholders’ Consultative Workshop**= =**Addis Ababa**= =**24-25 August 2010**=

=**Partnerships and Stakeholders**=

Participants gathered in three groups to categorize partners and stakeholder according to different value chains
 * small ruminants
 * smallholder dairy and multi-purpose cows
 * pigs and aquaculture

For each category of partners/stakeholders:
 * what do different partners do well and less well?
 * what are incentives or disincentives to participate in this Mega Program?
 * how does this translate into how the different types of partners are engaged?
