THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN VALUE CHAIN DEVELOPMENT 1. Policy 2. Production 3. Market information 4. Develop infrastructure 5. Government & some key challenges - Private sector - Very poor HH By Dr NGARAMBE R. Michel Coordinator DIDP Nairobi, October 21st, 2010.
1. Policy • The GoR/MINAGRI has PSTA-II(second phase of the Strategic Plan for Agriculture Transformation) • The Overall Objective of the PSTA II: “Agricultural output and incomes increased rapidly under sustainable production systems for all groups of farmers, and food security ensured for all the population”. • Four Programmes at the heart of the Strategy: - P1: Intensification and development of sustainable production; - P2: Support to the professionalization of the producers; - P3: Promotion of commodity chains and agribusiness; - P4: Institutional development.
2. Production • The production is increased in PPP (Public - Private - Partnership); • Extension services are ensured mostly by Government service providers, NGO’s, Private agro-dealers etc... The extension service is monitored and evaluated frequently; • Farmer training/organization is a task of all stakeholders in agriculture sector such as Government, Private sector, UN bodies (WFP, FAO, USAID, etc) but all coordinated by MINAGRI.
3. Market information • The government of Rwanda/MINAGRI, through the extension program has created a market Information system that provides information on production, market prices of agricultural products from different markets (44); • It’s managed in such manner that local people can access information using sms & website.From outside the country, they can access information through the website: (www.amis.minagri.gov.rw/e-soko)
4. Develop infrastructure • Production : Government intervention for most of activities related to storages, marketsplaces and roads; • Agro processing industries : Private Sector and NGO’s started showing interest, taking part in settling and mobilization of funds to develop the value chains for agricultural products.
5. Government & some key challenges • Private sector The PPP still needed, due to purchase power of people to pay services from private sector. • Very poor HH Some Gvt initiatives to address them: - ONE COW PER POOR FAMILY - MALNUTRITION: - School feeding program - One cup of milk per child
