• Facilitator: Ed Rege

• Objective– Quickly review emerging priority issues identified

Emerging Issues Arising from Group Break Outs Sessions✓Private Sector – should be driving force. Public

sector should support Private sector to achieve sustainability

✓M&E (tracking progress) and KM (Impact oriented policies / commitments / outcomes)

✓Embedding thinking and doing in national

frameworks (NAIPs)

✓Sustainability/ self-sustaining (e.g. continuing investment that doesn’t depend on outside resources, building institutional framework, continuity of program)

Emerging Issues Arising from Group Break Outs Sessions

✓ Bringing youth into agriculture• Be more direct in supporting PPPs in value chain development so

youth can benefit • Entrepreneurship training for youth

✓ Local capacity / institutional strengthening✓ Political commitment at all levels

• Develop model on how we can promote to encourage political commitment of our principles

✓ Go beyond drafting documents to our own resource mobilization and identify other sources of funding beyond what we are already familiar with.

✓ Consistency, stable, predictable government polices (e.g. trade policies) ✓ Research for development / innovative ideas being introduced into agr.

systems
