SUMMARY:Guest Lecture on Strengthening Farmer Based Organizations
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture on Strengthening Farmer Based Organizations\nEvent in Bonn // Skype for Business stream available\nThis talk will examine the dynamics of enabling framework conditions for farmer based organisations.\nThe presentation will be looking at two key drivers for the development of institutional structures that can support or obstruct the growth of inclusive and economically viable FBOs: organizational governance and state policy. \nNew evidence will be presented from a long-term research project on agricultural cooperatives in Uganda’s coffee sector\, in addition to data from other sub-Saharan African countries. \nThe talk will conclude with recommendations for the analysis of governance structures and state policy to help identify context and sector specific weaknesses and develop effective interventions to strengthen an enabling environment\, at meso and macro levels\, for FBO development and growth. \nFarmer based organisation — Critical for rural transformation\nIn view of the increasing globalization and commercialization of agriculture and the urgent need for rural transformation\, FBOs such as farmer associations and cooperatives\, producer and marketing groups are rapidly gaining importance. The main reason being that small agricultural holdings lack assets and economies of scale to meet changing market requirements in terms of delivery volumes\, supply reliability as well as quality demands and consistency. Smallholders are disadvantaged regarding access to financial services\, appropriate and new technologies as well as remunerative markets. \nIn the capacity development strategies of German development cooperation\, organizational development plays a key role alongside human resources capacity development\, network development and the promotion of improved framework conditions. In this logic\, various GIZ programmes and recently the special initiative One World – No Hunger set priorities for structural transformation\, entrepreneurship development and innovation for increasing rural incomes\, reducing poverty\, improving resilience as well as assuring food and nutritional security. \n\nWhen: Tuesday\, 19 September 2017\, 12:00-14:00 CST \n\nWhere: GIZ Bonn\, Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 36\, Room BM12037 // Skype for Business \nWho’ll be giving the lecture?\nKarin Wedig\, Assistant Professor of Development Economics\, at the University of Denver. \nContact\nKindly RSVP with katharina.schlemper@giz.de by 8 September\, +49 228 4460-3976\nIf you are an SNRD member or GIZ staff\, please also contact Katharina to obtain a Skype for Business link. \nOrganisers\nSector Project Agricultural Trade and Value Chains in GIZ Division G500 – Rural Development\, Agriculture.
