enabling the business of sustainable smallholder farming
Our response to the World Bank's EBA Progress Report
Some ASFG member organisations are in dialogue with World Bank staff and those donors who support the development of a new World Bank benchmarking tool called Enabling the Business of Agriculture (EBA). According to the World Bank and the donors who support the project, it will over time encourage governments to design and implement policies, regulations and laws that better enable commercially-oriented smallholder farmers, as well as large agri-business enterprises to access markets for their products.
Read the ASFG’s own framework of polices, regulation and laws which our research shows are essential for empowering smallholder farmers to access markets, as well as our response to the recent World Bank EBA progress report.
