Dear Feed the Future Market Systems GLEE Participant:

Welcome to the Market Systems Global Learning and Evidence Exchange (GLEE) in Dakar, Senegal. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau for Food Security (BFS); Bureau for Africa; Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and Environment (E3); and USAID Senegal have collaborated with leaders and practitioners across the development landscape to convene here for the purpose of sharing knowledge, best practices and lessons learned in market systems approaches that improve food security, resilience and nutrition. Thank you very much for choosing to participate in this event with us.

This GLEE is happening at an opportune time, as 11 U.S. government departments and agencies begin to execute the U.S. Government’s Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS). For four days, U.S. government staff, partners, and experienced practitioners will discuss approaches to leveraging market forces and food systems that advance the GFSS goals and objectives. Participants will discuss the latest in experience and evidence through a series of discussions about market systems and value chains, risk management, trade and finance.

As we increase our understanding of effective market systems approaches, we will continue to improve our whole-of-government approach to ending global hunger. At USAID, we know we cannot do this alone. So again, I thank all of you from the U.S. interagency, private sector, implementing partners and other key stakeholders, without whom we cannot achieve our goal.

We look forward to interacting and collaborating with you this week.

Sincerely,

Beth Dunford, Ph.D. Assistant to the Administrator, USAID Bureau for Food Security Deputy Coordinator, Feed the Future

2 Market Systems Global Learning and Evidence Exchange

BACKGROUNDThe U.S. Government’s Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) presents an integrated whole-of-government strategy as required by the Global Food Security Act of 2016 (GFSA). The strategy reflects the unique skills, resources, and lessons learned from U.S. federal depart-ments and agencies that contribute to global food security, as well as input from partners throughout the private sector, academic institutions and civil society. It charts a course for the U.S. Government to contribute to the achievement of global food security and the range of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), together with partners across the globe.

Sound, evidence-based programming at the regional, country, and community level is needed to realize the ambitious but achievable strategic goals of the GFSS. This Global Learning and Evidence Exchange will allow us to dive a little deeper to surface the tried and true best practices along with innovative new ways of partnering and doing business through market systems approaches to agriculture-led economic growth, increased resilience and improved nutrition.

OBJECTIVESAs a result of participating in the Africa Markets GLEE, participants will be able to:

• Promote and increase the use of highly catalytic market-led approaches to achieve GFSS objectives.

• Better design and implement market-based programs in missions and Washington.

• Share and learn from successes and challenges in the field while improving their understanding of approaches and tools to identify opportunities to catalyze inclusive, agriculture-led economic growth through market-based solutions and partnerships. These findings will be captured and shared with interested parties unable to attend the GLEE.

• Understand and access support, as appropriate, provided to missions by BFS, particularly Markets, Partnerships and Innovations (MPI) and Policy, Planning and Learning (PPL), and other central operating units through technical assistance and centrally-managed mechanisms. BFS will also gain a better understanding of what missions need.

Monday, June 5

Opening Plenary: Welcome, the GFSS and Sustaining Success

Description

The passage of the Global Food Security Act (GFSA) opens a new phase for USAID’s food security programming. The Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) calls on USAID to continue its efforts to reduce hunger, malnutrition and poverty, while challenging us to build on the lessons from Feed the Future. The Feed the Future Global Performance Evaluation (GPE) notes that, even five years into Feed the Future, we have fallen short of having a shared understand-ing of how value chain programming contributes to market systems strengthening; we have also failed to measure some of the broader changes that our programming has been advancing. This session will present the GFSS and discuss how market systems programming fits within our theory of change. It will also guide participants through the week—reviewing the goals of the GLEE, walking through the week’s agenda, and stressing the broader aim of walking out with a shared understanding of the GFSS as well as its opportunities and possibilities for our programming going forward.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will understand:

1. What is new about the GFSS compared to Feed the Future’s approach

2. How market systems programming fits within the GFSS theory of change

3. The goals of the GLEE and how the days fit together

SESSIONS

Session 1: Agricultural Transformation and Its Implications for Programming

Description

The Malabo Declaration on Accelerating Agricultural Transformation from subsistence farming to commercial agriculture provides the continental context for agricultural and food system programming. Socio-economic trends including diet transitions, youth bulges and increasing roles for rural towns and small cities are creating exciting new opportunities as well as challenges for programming. This session sets the broad transformation context and trends with implications for programming.

Learning Objectives

1. Understand the pattern of agricultural transformation across Africa

2. Identify the implications of ag transformation for programming, particularly opportunities that trends in diets, food retail and urbanization imply for the kinds of interventions we pursue through Feed the Future

Market Systems Global Learning and Evidence Exchange 7

Session 2: Market Systems Programming: Concepts, Approaches and Evidence

Description

The Feed the Future Global Performance Evaluation suggests that, even after five years into Feed the Future, we don’t have a shared understanding of value chain development. With the GFSS aspiring toward a market systems approach, the challenge of clarifying concepts and practices becomes even more pressing. This session will focus on developing this shared understanding by reviewing the evolution of concepts and practices over time and exploring common elements across effective market systems programming.

Learning Objectives

1. Understand the evolution in donor practice from value chains to market systems

2. Share our emerging understanding of value chain and market systems programming

3. Explore effective market systems programming

Session 3: From Concepts to Programs: Practical Challenges

Description

Having reviewed concepts of market systems programming, here we turn to some of the common challenges of contracting and implementation. We’ll review some “tricks of the trade” from missions and implementing partners, particularly in terms of practices that allow for the kind of learning and adaptive management that are essential to promoting systemic change.

Learning Objectives

1. Understand some of the practical challenges of contracting and implementing market systems programming

2. Explore how missions and implementing partners have worked despite these challenges

3. Become aware of available resources to help design and implementation

Tuesday, June 6

Session 4: Inclusion: Making Markets Work for All

Description

Markets are not necessarily inclusive of all actors. In particular, women, youth, minorities, the disabled, and other minority groups might be excluded from full participation in the market system. It is important to understand the unique perspectives and challenges of these groups and how to include these actors in market approaches. During this session, participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences, stories and methods that will allow for a more inclusive market systems approach under Feed the Future.

Learning Objectives

1. Participants will understand how the market system might include typically marginalized actors such as women, youth, minorities, the disabled, etc.

2. Participants will gain a better perspective on the unique challenges of these actors and learn processes and strategies for incorporating them into market systems based approaches.

3. Participants will also come away with practical tools and approaches to design and implement a more inclusive market systems approach.

Session 5: Markets for Good Nutrition

Description

Integrating nutrition into market development programming requires thoughtful consideration along the value chain and appropriate market placement. This session will provide an overview of nutrition importance in market systems development that can help or hinder nutrition outcomes (under-/over-nutrition; aka double burden).

Learning Objectives

1. Why (and if ) diets improve with economic growth

2. The characteristics of food environments that are conducive to improved nutrition profiles

3. How market-based interventions can impact nutrition

Session 6: Partnering for Impact: Leveraging Local Systems and Private Sector Engagement

Description

001: These African Partnerships June 6, 2017

Partnering for impact by leveraging local systems and private sector engagement are foundations of Feed the Future. Now more than ever we’re working through partnerships to achieve food security results. The Global Food Security Act and Strategy challenge us to “leverage resources and expertise through partnerships with the private sector.” On this radio show, we’ll share partnership models and evidence: What made these partnerships work? How can we work with private companies to deepen food security impact? Act one will tell the tale of a partnership in Zambia with Syngenta to commercialize seedlings. In act two we’ll be introduced to a U.S. company investing in processing and roasting cashews in Benin for export, while bringing value to smallholder producers. And in act three we’ll hear more about facilitating technical assistance from U.S. and European companies to African food enterprises. Stay tuned!

Learning Objectives

1. Improved understanding of long term “shared value” relationships with private sector beyond formal partnership time period.

2. Increased awareness of models to de-risk private sector entry into new markets and commercialize new technologies.

3. To learn new partnership approaches beyond the Global Development Alliance (GDA) tool or partnership grants.

4. Key message: Catalyzing private sector investment in agro-food enterprises is a primary facilitative approach to support inclusive market growth.

5. Key message: Partnering with the private sector can sustain, and even scale, food security results when expansion into bottom of the pyramid markets is aligned with a firm’s commercial interest.

Session 7: Monitoring, Market Systems and the GFSS

Description

This session will discuss a sub-set of proposed Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) indicators that relate to measuring market systems. A quick overview of the GFSS indicator process and description of the selected indicators will open the session. In small groups, participants will work through a series of questions about the indicators. They will share how the indicators apply or not to measuring market systems in their country context.

Learning Objectives

1. Introduce proposed GFSS indicators related to market systems

2. Collect feedback from participants on the proposed indicators

Session 12: How Does the Enabling Environment Impact the Seed Sector?

Description

This session will dive into a regional case of regulatory frameworks within the seed sector in Southern Africa to explore how USAID is engaging in different ways to support a more efficient, safe and cost-effective market system for agriculture inputs. The session will describe analytical work undertaken to inform project design and explore challenges faced in implementation. This will include a look at the importance of national-level factors and their impact on broader regional harmonization efforts. A discussant will provide a comparison of experiences with similar harmonization work in the West Africa Region.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, participants will:

1. Be able to describe the differences between policies, laws and regulations and the importance of each within the broader enabling environment

2. Learn more about effective interventions in support of enabling environment reforms in regional seed sector harmonization efforts

3. Become familiar with tools for enabling environment assessments, how to access analytical support in this technical area, and where to go to learn more about enabling environment reform

Session 13: Addressing Food Safety for Stronger Market Systems

Description

This working session will focus on food safety issues affecting regional market access and trade. The session will use real life case studies to analyze specific examples of how regional and bilateral missions can work together to address food safety issues along value chains and include them in their program development. Participants will explore resources and tools to frame food safety within regional trade (challenges, barriers, topics to pay attention to). Participants will learn firsthand from USDA Sanitation Performance Standards and food safety capacity building experts about experiences dealing with food safety as a market system that significantly impacts value chain development.

Learning Objectives

1. How to incorporate food safety in programs at different stages of value chain development

Session 14: Leveraging Regional Trade Investments for Market Systems Strengthening

Description

How does attention to regional trade strengthen market linkages and systems, creating inclusive and sustainable opportunities in the agriculture sector that transform markets? This session will explore opportunities and challenges related to applying a regional trade lens that enhances the facilitation of strong agricultural markets. Through regional breakout groups, regional mission staff and partners will identify actions that can be taken to leverage ongoing regional trade investments and support needs. The session will highlight useful tools and resources and the importance of capacity building and collaborating with different kinds of partners, including national and regional organizations, companies and civil society.

Learning Objectives

1. Explore different approaches for regional and bilateral mission collaboration to advance regional trade for country-level impact

2. Strengthen understanding of how to leverage regional trade investments, including USAID Trade and Investment Hubs for country level impact

3. Facilitate exchange of experiences leading to identification of regional actions and support needs
