Description

Optimising the Performance of Producers’ Organisations (OPPO) – Towards a Farmer Inclusive Business Model

The seven tools that are profiled in this manual have been selected from the extensive 3-week WCDI OPPO course toolbox, validated by the Pacific experts/ farmer leaders and endorsed as relevant by Pacific stakeholders. The three additional tools (OPPO tools 8-10) are also selected from the course toolbox.

The goal is to motivate and enable Pacific value chain stakeholders to use the tools to conduct further in-depth analysis and training so that they become ‘game changers’ and proactively make a difference for thousands of family farms. Knowledge, joint learning, collaboration, trust and partnerships are key to successful innovation in Pacific agri-food systems for improved nutrition and incomes.

In this manual you will learn how to:

• Profile farmers, assess their resource endowment and understand farmer motivations;
• Assess the governance, management and performance of farmers’ organisations;
• Conduct value chain and stakeholder mapping;
• Formulate strategic orientations for action planning;
• Initiate the development of a farmer inclusive value chain/ agribusiness case.
