Replication
Our hub model is being adopted and replicated by other organizations outside the geographic areas of the EADD project. However, because information on replication is currently limited to Eastern Africa, we are researching whether replication has occurred in a wider geographic area.
• In Kenya, Send a Cow, an NGO working in East Africa together with Heifer Kenya through the Wealth Creation Project has established three PO/ Hubs in Khwisero, Nambale and Rongo Districts.
• The India-Kenya Dairy Innovation Bridge Project in Nakuru implemented by Heifer Kenya has also adopted and replicated our hub model by establishing two PO/Hubs in Nakuru County in Kenya.
• The County Government of Bomet through partnership with EADD and the Kenya Dairy Farmers Federation (KDFF)* is replicating our hub model in nine sites: Labotiet, Makimeny, Olbutyo, Sigor, Longisa, Mariny, Kipsonoy, Chepkalwal and Merigi. They aim to establish an additional eight PO/Hubs in 2015.
• The Elgeyo Marakwet County Government has also established two PO/Hubs after learning about our model through EADD and KDFF staff.
• KDFF is developing three dairy PO/Hubs in the Naitiri area of Bungoma County, Torongo in Baringo County and Ndanai in Bomet County.
• In South West Uganda, Pearl Dairy, a large milk processor with a capacity of 200k liters drier/day, has expressed interest in working with EADD, to expand our hub model outside current EADD sites to meet Pearl’s growing demand for milk.
