The webinar will showcase findings from SDC InovAgro project, which applied a market systems development (MSD) approach to facilitate the development of a commercially driven certified seed market system which is targeting smallholder farmers as the main customers. It will examine the evolution of the sector as InovAgro brought on board government agencies, changed regulations, incentivized the private sector to invest in demand creation, and collaborated with various donor/UN agencies development to address the full range of issues needed to develop the seed system over a 10-year period in Mozambique. Some background resources available in attachment. The findings that will be presented are valuable and highly applicable to other contexts. We invite you to participate, learn and exchange on the topic!

Guest Speaker:    
 

Bill Grant is the Senior Lead for Market Systems Development at DAI.  Over the past 35 years, he has worked in more than 50 countries, concentrating on designing, evaluating, and implementing market driven solutions leading to broad-based, pro-poor development.  He applies systemic market development methodologies (value chain and M4P) to identify the major systemic constraints that are handicapping equitable economic growth and then design and implement market led, systemic, solutions.  During this time he has led more than 160 subsector or value chain analyses in over 30 countries.  Most of these studies have led to the development of national or regional growth plans for the subsectors, including addressing constraining enabling environment and reinforcing the right institutional support from both public and private sources.  He is currently advising six systemic development programs for USAID, DFID, the Swiss Development Agency for Cooperation (SDC), the World Bank, and private corporations to link major investment opportunities into sectors with strong pro-poor growth potential.
