No results found.This technical note was written by the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) as part of the project “AgrInvest-Food Systems: Enabling inclusive and efficient private sector investment in agri-food systems”, implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in partnership with the ECDPM. The AgrInvest-Food Systems Project (AgrInvest-FS) aims at attracting private investment into agrifood systems aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by leveraging public funds. The note applies a systematic approach to the five agrivalue chains over the four countries covered in the AgrInvest-FS project, to identify relevant financing instruments and relevant types of financing institutions, which could potentially be interested in financing a segment of the value chain. -

No results found.This publication was written by the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) as part of the project “AgrInvest-Food Systems: Enabling inclusive and efficient private sector investment in agrifood systems” (AgrInvest-FS), implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in partnership with the ECDPM. The AgrInvest-FS project aims at attracting private investment into agrifood systems aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by leveraging public funds. This paper recommends a package of policy improvements and interventions aiming to support SDG-oriented investments in the dairy sector in Oromia in Ethiopia by addressing bottlenecks in the sector and enabling a conducive environment. The paper highlights key challenges and proposes packages of policy interventions that aim to address these key challenges in a coherent and interrelated manner. Building on existing partnerships and processes will increase the feasibility of these recommendations being implemented. Concretely, the recommendations propose i) a gradual and integrated approach to developing, adopting and enforcing milk quality standards for human health; ii) effective ways to improve the access to affordable feed and forage through profitability studies, policy reforms and applied research and innovation and iii) adopting a context-specific approach in addressing finance and credit bottlenecks in the dairy value chain. In the case of Ethiopia, this means acknowledging how the persistent foreign exchange shortage is a major factor, as well as unequal power and gender dynamics. Lessons from past experiences illustrate the potential of multi-stakeholder dialogues to commit to a shared vision, coordinate interventions and improve joint learning and innovation. Spaces for multi-stakeholder dialogue should maximize local embeddedness and have clear benefits for the private sector actors to engage in. Transparent government-owned information management systems, especially at the local level, enable government and development partners, banks and investors to project and track the impact of their investments. -
