- challenges:
- N/A
- success:
- The Yapasa project experimented with MSD/M4P and was able to apply a flexible approach as much as possible to mitigate some of the bureaucratic hurdles. Regarding focus, Project staff and Partners learned from experiences (e.g. shifting away from crops and value chains that provided incomes on a yearly basis only) and introduced Community Agrodealers (CAD) on an experimental basis.
- context:
- Both ILO and FAO have worked for many years with private sector actors.
- description:
- A UN Joint Programme (ILO and FAO) might not provide the best framework for a Market Systems Development (MSD)/ Making Markets work for the Poor (M4P) project given the elaborate procurement and other bureaucratic procedures that are not in unison with quick decision-making protocols of the market systems.
- administrative_issues:
- A prerequisite in a project design for field-oriented activities, is that some form of needs assessment vis-à-vis the ultimate target group is undertaken (latest) during the inception phase.
