Dairy development
Combing the knowledge of a century of dairy development in The Netherlands and the experience of our Kenyan and Ugandan -Dutch Partnerships we organize a comprehensive programme focusing on the total dairy value chain. The DDDP aim to be a ‘one stop shop’ for the dairy sector in Kenya and Uganda. Besides the promotion of trade between Dutch dairy companies and Kenyan and Ugandan partners, this programme aims at setting up various projects to support and enhance the Kenyan and Ugandan dairy sector as a whole.
Dairy Partners
The Dutch Dairy Development Partners partnership consists of a dozen Dutch companies in the dairy sector and is still expanding. The programme is supported by the Dutch government, with major input of the Dutch members. The partnership is coordinated by the Netherlands – African Business Council (NABC).
Activities in Africa
The partners focus on identifying concrete business opportunities in tandem with Kenyan and Ugandan partners. An analysis is done on the demand of dairy as well as the needs of local producers and processors. The DDDP members complement each other in their areas of technology, knowledge and experience. NABC is connecting the stakeholders in both the Dutch and the African sector; private companies, knowledge institutions, development organizations and (local) governments.

Although our focus within this programme is specifically on our partnership in Kenya and Uganda, our aim is to work together with our Dutch and African partners on the development of the dairy sector all over Africa!
