Funding proposal package for FP269

The DaIMA programme is a large-scale initiative targeting the dairy sectors of East Africa to mitigate methane emissions and enhance climate adaptation. With a total budget of USD 358.26 million, the programme focuses on three main components: strengthening national institutional capacities and policy frameworks, implementing farm-level low-emission and resilient practices, and establishing a Green Dairy Financing Facility (GDFF) to provide concessional loans to dairy SMEs. The programme expects to benefit 2.5 million direct beneficiaries and reduce milk emission intensities by 29% over 20 years.

• The programme aims to reduce milk emission intensities by 29% over a 20-year horizon, with specific targets of 28% in Kenya, 50% in Rwanda, 29% in Tanzania, and 33% in Uganda.
• Total GHG emissions from milk production are projected to decrease by 4.01% at the programme level, including reductions of 2.02% in Kenya, 9.56% in Rwanda, 4.69% in Tanzania, and 5.22% in Uganda.
• The programme expects to increase milk production by 34% overall, with the highest projected increase in Rwanda at 73%.
• The total programme cost is USD 358.26 million, with GCF providing USD 150 million (USD 132.5 million in grants and USD 17.5 million in loans), and IFAD contributing USD 193.28 million in co-financing.
• The programme targets 2.5 million direct beneficiaries and 15.4 million indirect beneficiaries, with a goal of at least 40% women and 30% youth participation.
• Component 1 focuses on institutional strengthening, including reviewing national dairy policies, improving veterinary and extension services, and developing a carbon certification system to access carbon finance.
• Component 2 implements farm-level interventions to reduce emissions and increase resilience, including the use of climate-smart breeds, improved fodder production, and the installation of 6,930 biodigesters.
• The programme will restore and sustainably manage 178,362 hectares of rangelands and pastures to increase soil carbon sequestration.
• Component 3 establishes the Green Dairy Financing Facility (GDFF), providing USD 35 million in on-lending capital through wholesale and retail banks to support green dairy investments.
• The GDFF offers two loan products: Green Dairy Investment Partnership Loans (USD 250,000 to 550,000 for larger businesses) and Green Dairy Loan Products (up to USD 250,000 for smaller SMEs).
• The programme's economic analysis shows an aggregated Economic Net Present Value (ENPV) of USD 181.20 million and an Economic Rate of Return (ERR) of 25.4% for the baseline scenario.
