Virtual CoP on inclusive Contract Farming (iCF)
Why a CoP on iCF?
Broad sharing and dissemination of information and knowledge are known to be key drivers of impact in development cooperation. GIZ views iCF, in particular, as an important tool to raise incomes of smallholders and entrepreneurs along the rural value chains, making it a promising component for many rural development efforts.
The launch of the virtual CoP has been a landmark in GIZ’s promotion of iCF on a worldwide scale. The CoP on iCF aims to become an indispensable hub for knowledge exchange and capacity development in its field. To this end, GIZ decided to provide an adequate platform to support those active individuals who contribute materials and professional expertise. This includes making the necessary staff available without which no community stays alive and moving.
Who is facilitating the CoP?
The CoP primarily operates virtually and is coordinated by the GIZ FMB.
How to join?
Practitioners experienced in agribusiness, value chains or contract farming from GIZ, partner institutions, consulting firms, national training institutes or private companies can join the CoP. Please contact the community managers via the email inclusive.contract.farming@giz.de
