    Purchase for Progress (P4P) INVESTMENT ANALYSIS: Malawi 2016
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Malawi was selected during the consultation phase as one of the four countries for an investment analysis case study. The objective of this country study was to investigate the main benefits arising from the Malawi Purchase for Progress (P4P) initiative and its impact on the beneficiaries, in particular those not documented by the programme’s monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system. This country case study indicates that overall P4P brought positive benefits to the smallholder farming community and resulted in the growth of ACE, as farmers recognized the value of the exchange. It should be noted that the P4P programme only targeted approximately two percent of Malawi's agricultural producers, thus any discourse in this paper should be seen in light of the limited scope and size of the pilot. Further to this, the mission only visited seven of the 30 WFP-affiliated FOs and two traders. Thus the findings are by no means representative of the total population that benefited from the P4P pr ogramme.

    Access to finance for forest and farm producer organisations (FFPOs) 2018
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Forest landscapes are inhabited by approximately 1.5 billion people. The aggregate gross annual value of these smallholder producers approaches US$1.3 trillion. Adding value to that production, through financial investment, will be key to delivering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Therefore, access to finance is an important issue. The Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) commissioned this scoping paper to assess what might be done to improve access to finance. Organisation of forest and farm producers allows finance to be channelled toward valueadded investments. But the motivation to form forest and farm producer organisations (FFPOs) varies with context, from the desire to secure resource rights for Indigenous peoples in the forest core, to the desire to strengthen economic scale efficiencies in periurban forest product processing industries. The scale and type of finance needs vary and span enabling investments (grants or concessional loans)through to asset investments (market-rate capital that requires a return). Access to finance for FFPOs requires tailored approaches. For FFPOs, enabling investments in four key areas are needed to create the conditions and necessary track record to attract asset investment: (i) secure commercial rights; (ii) strong organisation for scale; (iii) appropriate technical extension; and (iv) fair market access and business incubation. Enabling investments of this sort make FFPO businesses bankable and affords them access to finance.
