COC Approach
Within State Capability & Policy Engagement, we divide our work into three key areas:
- Strengthening Agric Value Chain
- Advocacy
- Regional Agric Trade Shows
Organising Awards
In our approach, we work across all levels within ministries and at sub-national level. In particular, we prioritize engagement with technocrats – the key personnel and decision-makers whose technical knowledge and expertise help us work more effectively with every Stakeholder.
Our aim is to help governments/agric Stakeholders to articulate alternative policy options to create an enabling environment in which businesses and farmers can thrive. We also work to enhance implementation capacity, with a view to increasing service delivery and executing commitments. We help to identify capacity gaps, co-create evidence-based interventions, and make investments to build state capability.
Above all, we aim to create a sense of ownership and leadership. For this reason, our work with governments and other institutions is always country and context-specific. A country’s uniqueness is what drives progress. To this end, we listen to and work closely with governments to understand their specific requirements and devise bespoke national strategies.
