Book (series)Professionalizing farmer organizations through private sector-led models
Capacity development initiatives in Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire
2021Also available in:
No results found.Investing in farmers – or agriculture human capital – is crucial to addressing challenges in our agri-food systems. A global study carried out by the FAO Investment Centre and the International Food Policy Research Institute, with support from the CGIAR Research Programme on Policies, Institutions and Markets and the FAO Research and Extension Unit, looks at agriculture human capital investments, from trends to promising initiatives. One of the nine featured case studies, funded by the Agribusiness Market Ecosystems Alliance with support from IFAD, explores three private sector-led initiatives focusing on the capacity development of farmer organizations in Côte d’Ivoire and Cameroon. These farmer organizations purchase cocoa or cotton from around 275 000 small producer members and sell to major exporting companies (off-takers). Independent assessments of the farmer organizations linked to the modularized agribusiness leadership training curriculum help make the farmer organizations stronger business partners, posing less risk for off-takers, their members and other value chain actors. With stronger links to markets and services, the farmer organizations can help farmers access finance, inputs and know-how, while also linking them to new productivity enhancing technology. This publication is part of the Country Investment Highlights series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme. -
Book (series)Private investment and public–private partnerships in aquaculture in Rwanda
Status, challenges and prospects
2025Also available in:
No results found.The present study proposes the following policy recommendations: implementing financial inclusion measures, addressing collateral-related challenges and enhancing financial institutions’ understanding of the aquaculture sector. Allocating resources to research and development is also critical for improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of locally produced fish feed. Strengthening coordination within the aquaculture sector is essential for establishing a unified national voice, and regular reviews of legal and institutional frameworks should be conducted to ensure alignment with the changing needs of the sector and global best practices. Additionally, diversifying investment incentives beyond tax exemptions is vital to attract and retain private sector investment. Most importantly, actively promoting and facilitating PPPs, especially in lab-testing services, stand-alone hatcheries and fish feed production facilities, can leverage the strengths of both the public and private sectors for sustainable aquaculture development. -
