SUSTAINABILITY
The community needs
It is aimed to let the milk of Çankaya community develop their local economy by properly and efficiently utilizing milk in hygienic conditions, in contrary to the current primitive situation. Also, it is targeted to serve the consumers healthy cheese products while producing them in modern ways. Moreover, conscious producers will be trained by experts. This need has been identified after researches made by the Karahasanlı, Akarlar, Evciler, Kömürcü, Tohumlar, Yayla Neighborhoods's Agricultural Development Cooperative, hereinafter called CCAD Cooperative.
The relevant data or survey results.
Based on Republic of Turkey Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock Town Directorate,
there are 6000-6200 certified cows. Also, based on the surveys, it has been noted that the biggest problem in the neighborhood is selling the raw milk. As currently the efficiency of producing cheese and butter is pretty low, the milk producers prefer selling their milk to a cheese - butter production facility. In addition to that, many villagers even six kilometers away from Çankaya, have committed already to sell their raw milk to the milk facility.
How the project will address the community needs.
Primary goal is giving an opportunity to the society to utilize their milk and produce cheese in modern, which is meant efficient and hygienic ways, then production of yoghurt and yogurt-drink (national drink of Turkish Republic) is planned to be promoted in the future. The system that will be built for cheese manufacturing is capable of being extended with additional investments in future years when new milk products are aimed to be produced. In targeted modern conditions of milking and storing, the local community will start earning from their milk and it will encourage them to purchase new sheep and cows. Thus the milk livestock will be developed in the neighborhood, and then average wage in the community will be increased.
Involvement of the local community
There is CCAD Cooperative founded by the villagers with guidance and support of the municipality and there is an ongoing initiative of the association to which the municipality is going to provide sheep. We, Ankara Bahcelievler RC, will be working with the association and the local community and will be involved as volunteered members of the association on planning the project. The members of the cooperative suggested us where to establish the Diary Plant and how to collect the milk.
Training and educational programs
Firstly, hygienic ways of milking and storing tips and lectures on animal health and cleaning after milking will be given to both the animal owners and the association members. While realizing the project, trainings will be given to the technical, marketing and accounting staff in the milking facility, in accordance with their specialization. These lectures can be listed as a summary as follows:
• Building product cost and accounting system, week 1
• Running the machinery, periodic maintenance and repairing, week 2
• Analysis of milk, week 2-4 (in parallel with the other training)
• Processing of milk and producing cheese, week 2-4
• Doing CIP (Clean In Place) cleaning of the facility, week 2-4
• Building sales, marketing and shipping methodologies, week 5
These lectures will be given by experts of local Agriculture Department of Turkish Republic, university professors, professionals from Rotarians and experts of machinery vendors. These lecturers will be selected out of local Rotarians, universities and volunteers around the neighborhood. In host (Ankara Bahcelievler) Rotary Club, there are already members who have expertise on these subjects and they will attend to project in person.
ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The goals
• Building the capacity of entrepreneurs, community leaders, local organizations, and community networks to support economic development in impoverished communities
• Developing opportunities for productive work
• Reducing poverty in underserved communities
• Supporting studies for career-minded professionals related to economic and community development
How to meet these goals?
Çankaya has a few and small lands for farming and due to that the community survives on mostly live stocking. Current Development Association supports the community on producing cheese but the products are unhealthy and primitively produced, which result with low selling price. Once the facility is established, the raw milk will have an option to be used in both hygienic and modern way, and then farmers will earn more money which would end up larger and more efficient farms, live stocking and local businesses. Increase on the value of raw milk simply increases also the living standards there. Side industries (for example, fodder factories, equipment industry for animal health, veterinary materials etc.) will develop and new occupational opportunities will be expected. Besides that, staff such as engineer and workers will be paid and survive in better live standards. To conclude, consuming income depending on producing milk and cheese will definitely live up the trade there incredibly.
How to measure the impact?
Measures on the success of the project can be listed as follows:
• Increase in the number of dairy cow and sheep
• Increase in the amount of collected milk
• Sale figures of the produced milk and cheese in the facility
• Payment amounts to the milk producers
ROTARIAN PARTICIPATION
The role of the host Rotarians in this Project and their specific responsibilities.
Managing of the project, assembling, control and running of the machinery, producing of the cheese will be realized by the committee members of host (Ankara Bahcelievler) Rotary Club. Training activities will be organized by CCAD Cooperative and the lecturers will be chosen by all partner Rotary Clubs. Running the milk facility, collecting milk and selling of the product will be under supervision of host RC, but will be performed by CCAD Cooperative. Machinery and equipment procurement and assembling will be guided by committee, whose chair is PP Necil BUYUKPAMUKCU. Educational organization will be supervised by a committee whose chair is PP Abdullah KÜREĞİBÜYÜK. Collecting milk and selling the product topics will be under supervision of the committee whose chair is PP Kerim SEFER. And finally, accounting will be under supervision a committee, whose chair is PP and also founder of Ankara Bahcelievler RC, Irfan KANDEMIR, who is a professional very well known accountant.
The role of the international Rotarians in this Project and their specific responsibilities.
Each and every step listed in the project plan will be jointly decided. And this project is a big project not only in the manner of purchasing and assembling the equipments + machinery, but the trainings and supervision. The training and supervision guidelines will be jointly prepared by experts in the partners, international as well as the host Rotarians.
SUSTAINABILITY
The role of the CCAD Cooperative in implementing the project.
The local Agriculture Department of Turkish Republic will provide a certificate and fund to the milk producers who
• produce less number of somatic cells in milk,
• high ratio of fat, protein and dry ingredients of milk,
• continuously increasing certified milk production.
Monitoring outcomes and ensuring continuity of services
Members of Bala Rotary Society Union and CCAD Cooperative will ensure the sustainability of the project. Host (Ankara Bahcelievler) Rotary Club will also support the trainings and organization to ensure the sustainability.
