Project background


BRIDGE+ is a five-year programme (from November 2023 to December 2028) implemented by a consortium of partners composed of SNV Netherlands Development Organization (lead) and Wageningen University (WUR and Agriterra, with the financial support from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN).

 

The overall objective of the BRIDGE+ programme is to contribute to a functioning dairy Value Chain that creates inclusive and sustainable benefits for all its participants, including wider society, with particular focus on smallholder farmers within the mixed farming system. To attain this objective, the project will operate at three levels: (1) smallholder farmers: increase benefits from dairy farming; (2) dairy value chain: improving functioning and food safety; and (3) at sector level: strengthening institutional structure.

Advisory Service – Supports the implementation of all project components and assignments within the various milksheds covered by the regional office. Monitors overall project implementation and provides direct support to Dairy Milkshed Advisers.
Knowledge Development – Leads internal and external knowledge development products and processes within the regional office, sharing of lessons learned for application in daily practice.
Project and Process development – Develops implementation modalities and contributes to strategy adjustments as part of the project team, based on lessons learned.
