  1. A Tool For Planning Ruth Campbell ACDI/VOCA

  2. The Challenge strategy • To design projects that are based on a strategy to address priority opportunities and constraints in market systems in order to achieve both growth and poverty reduction. design projects priority opportunities and constraints

  3. Assumptions • Value chains have already been selected • Workshop results will feed back into an ongoing process Rice Millet and Sorghum Cassava Dairy Livestock Small Ruminants Horticulture Cocoa Fisheries

  4. What Are We Trying To Achieve? Days 1-2: • A process for designing interventions that address underlying constraints to competitiveness and broad distribution of benefits Day 3: • A process for prioritizing interventions based on country context or regional advantage

  5. Day 1 • Prioritize market opportunities • Identify constraints to key opportunities • Constraint or symptom? • Vision • Outline needed changes to get us there priority opportunities and constraints Gender Nutrition Poverty Capacity strategy Gender Nutrition Poverty Capacity design projects

  6. Day 1 • Declining global production, growing demand • Increasing perceived disincentives • Weak producer group capacity • Infrastructure constraints • East Africa reputation for some of the finest coffee in the world • CURRENT STATE • Infrastructure improved • Capacity of producer groups strengthened • Coffee quality increased (GAP and good post-harvest handling) • Production costs decreased (infrastructure, GAP, policy environment) • Greater and more equitable involvement of women in the value chain • CHANGE NEEDED • East Africa is the world’s leading supplier of fine coffee • There is less market volatility • Male and female smallholder farmers benefit from increased competitiveness throughout the value chain • VISION

  7. Day 2 • Identify interventions • Roles of key actors priority opportunities and constraints Gender Nutrition Poverty Capacity strategy Gender Nutrition Poverty Capacity design projects

  8. Day 3 Day 3: • A process for prioritizing interventions based on country context or regional advantage • Potential “spillover” effects • Impact on gender, nutrition, poverty

  9. Day 3 • What programs currently (could) address recommended interventions? • What new programs are needed? • What are the specific capacity building needs? • Where do we go from here? Gender Nutrition Poverty Capacity Gender Nutrition Poverty Capacity

  10. At The End Of The Workshop • A process for designing interventions that address underlying constraints to competitiveness and broad distribution of benefits • A process for prioritizing interventions based on country context or regional advantage • Initial identification of capacity building needs • A set of next steps for applying this process back in your country
