    FAO has partnered with the Government of Malawi since a country representation was established in 1986. Assistance is focused on food security and agriculture-related policies, and programmes with a wide range of field programmes and an emphasis on technical advisory services and capacity building. Emergency and rehabilitation operations are an important feature of cooperation as is the mainstreaming of action to address HIV and AIDS, climate change and gender issues. This publication provides readers with a broad overview of the ongoing collaboration between FAO and the Government of Malawi.

    Making extension and advisory services market-oriented 2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Food production and consumption patterns have changed significantly in recent decades. Food supply chains have become ever more integrated and globalized. This has imposed additional constraints on the majority of small-holder farmers. The required shift from subsistence farming to more commercially-oriented farming is a slow process and often hampered by several challenges: weak management and business skills, limited ability to manage risks, the quality and quantity of production, poorly organized producers, lack of capital, poorly developed markets, and high costs of intermediaries and transactions. The publication shows how pluralistic actors in extension and advisory service (EAS) systems can support rural producers and provide a broader range of services to overcome the challenges.
