Today, markets have become mainstream instruments for poverty reduction, smallholder inclusion and increased food & nutrition security. However, market dynamics, failures and shortcomings often diminish the desired impacts and/or long term effects. This international course shows participants to which extent and in which manner markets can be used to induce and prolong positive change.
Course objectives:
Upon completion of the course you will:
- be more competent in the area of market access by differentiating between issues related to market participation, chain governance and institutional change;
- understand conceptual frameworks related to market development which can be used to identify pro-poor and inclusive development opportunities;
- be able to support policymakers, development practitioners and professional service providers in their new role as market facilitators;
- be able to apply tools and instruments to develop market-led, pro-poor, inclusive and/or food secure development interventions.
Target audience
The course is intended for staff of government departments, non-government and civil society organisations, business associations, development agencies, universities and colleges of higher education, and for other professionals working in the domain of market-driven development. Proficiency in English is required.
