57. The main challenge for the SDD strategy is to craft an investment plan that will be implemented for the benefit of Asia’s millions of actual and potential smallholder dairy operators, and the consumers they supply; and to action the strategy for use in country situations. At this stage it is only feasible to draft an outline that focuses on immediate activities based on already known commitments by stakeholders. The detailed investment programme will be finalised towards the end of 2008 and will depend on the interests of individual governments and the appeal of the strategy to investors from the private sector, regional and sub-regional organizations such as ASEAN, SAARC and the International Financing Institutions (IFIs), Regional Financing Institutions (RFIs) and International Agencies.
58. The foundation of the indicative Investment and Implementation Plan (IIP) is based on the SDD Strategy. For practical reasons, common design criteria are used for framing its components. A ten year timeframe is adopted, spanning 2009 to 2018, though some activities will start immediately in 2008. SDD involves investments in livestock and dairy chain infrastructure, which take time to achieve critical mass, especially for new entrants, who may have to borrow capital to build their enterprises. The IIP is divided into regional and country level sub-programmes, which will be implemented in parallel for optimum impact. A dual track approach will be used, with immediate and longer-term interventions. While the IIP has been reviewed and adopted by the Chiang Mai workshop delegates, it will be necessary to develop the proposed investments into detailed, fully costed project proposals in collaboration with potential investment partners. An immediate action plan for 2008 covering this process is set out in annex 1.
59. In essence the SDD Strategy and the IIP must be practical, bankable and actionable; and a roadmap to enable localized, targeted and tailored investment approaches.
60. The IIP is summarised in the table below and outlined in more detail in annex 2. The proposed oversight (M&E) arrangements are also set out in this annex. These include an SDD Task Force, facilitated by FAO, to guide the implementation of the SDD Strategy. Members of the Task Force are drawn from APHCA member countries and represent the broad constituency of public, private and NGO SDD stakeholders who attended the Chiang Mai workshop.

* Funding agreed in principle
61. Of the total proposed budget of US$ 250 million, 90 percent will be invested at country level. As indicated above, the detailed investment and implementation plan will be constructed during 2008 when the extent of stakeholder interest is ascertained. Private sector investors include all non-government and IFI/RFI investors, i.e. milk producers, milk traders, milk processors etc.
