Key Facilitating Partners

MEDA and KFPs contribute to international learning based on action research and the experience of EDGET.

Local partners benefit from industry knowledge, best practices and advice

MEDA and KFPs learn from the grassroots innovations and activities of project implementation

MEDA support the advancement of local KFPS through knowledge dissemination and technical assistance.

MEDA & KFPs act as a hub between

local experience and international

standards while developing a learning

community.

Enhanced capacity of selected Ethiopian organizations

and government to scale up and implement market-driven

value chain development activities through results-based

and gender sensitive methodologies.

Increased number of weavers are linked to high end markets through small businesses

Facilitate the number of small businesses linking weavers to high end markets. Increase the ability of SME intermediaries to access appropriate financial services through FI and SME support


Weaver organizations more effectively serve weavers

Strengthen weaver organizations to better serve weavers


Individual weaver households have improved financial literacy skills including increased savings and borrowing, and increased financial stability of cashflows through participation in local savings and credit groups.

Facilitate linkages between weavers and existing or new savings and credit groups


Processors have access to credit services to purchase new equipment

Processors are supplied with credit for equipment purchase by financial providers, either under a quasi-lease arrangement or with a sizeable down payment by the processor


Outgrower-led farmer seed multiplication

Outgrowers coordinate the multiplication of seed by farmers to supply farmers and the regional seed enterprises with improved rice varieties


Ethiopian low and middle income consumers have access to information about local rice through promotional campaigns

Processors and other value chain actors cost-share promotional campaigns with the project to create demand for and improve perceptions of Ethiopian rice among target market segments


Improve harvesting and post-harvest handling (harvest timing), improved sanitary processes and better sorting and grading

Processors use a lead farmer model to improve the quality of rice they are supplied, paying a commission based on the quality received by their suppliers and providing harvesting equipment as an embedded service


Processors sort and grade rice Purchasers communicate quality

standards and verification equipment to processors as an embedded service


Input firms offer rice-specific herbicides and pesticides

Input firms use a lead farmer business model to extend their outreach to rural areas and increase sales among smallholder rice farmers


Farmers have access to extension services

Research institutes and development agents train lead farmers in appropriate agronomic practices and improve outreach to women producers Seek reduction in labor demands on women (hand mechanized weeders).


Farmers have access to insurance products to mitigate risk in rice cultivation

Pilot innovative insurance products with other stakeholders and financial institutions

Producers acquire improved production capacity through sustainable access to modern techniques, appropriate technologies and quality support services and financial services, and enhanced access to new local and export markets for more appropriate products.

Commercial service providers, including extension providers, input suppliers, technology dealers, and financial service providers, deliver profitable services and products to smallholder farmers, textile producers, and other value chain players.

Local key facilitating partners (KFPs) effectively use value chain strategies and methodologies and apply lessons acquired as a result of KFP capacity building activities to enhance their program delivery.

Rice: Constraints to Margins ◦ Poor processing technology ◦ No quality control systems ◦ Poor perception and awareness of local rice ◦ Negotiating Ability

Constraints to Productivity ◦ Lack of access to quality seeds ◦ Low herbicide and pesticide usage ◦ Poor knowledge of good agricultural practices ◦ Farmers in Ethiopia are severely affected by drought

and floods

Textile:

Lack of linkages to high-end markets.

Small intermediaries lack business management

skills

Weak weaver support organizations.

Poor retail infrastructure/visibility.
