Achieving a market-led agricultural transformation is central to the growth and development strategy that Ethiopia is embarked upon, with the vision that market opportunities should drive agricultural transformation and rural growth. This presents a challenge in that, not only must markets work, but they must work in a way that drives agricultural productivity and growth for Ethiopian smallholder farmers. This tremendous challenge implies doing business “unusual”, in that efforts to develop the scope and reach of markets must be accompanied by and coordinated with investments in research, extension, and infrastructure and technical capacity to link farmers to markets.
This training will be developed in three parts:
- Part I. Building Institutions for Markets
- Part II. Building Institutions for Markets
- Part III. Price Policy Analysis – Tools & Empirics
The overall purpose of the training is to build the capacity of rural marketing analysts to understand, analyze and potentially participate in the design of market development policy interventions.
The Specific objectives are to:
- Discuss the role and design of key market institutions
- Present and discuss analytical methods of measuring market integration and market efficiency
- Present and discuss analytical methods and comparative experiences related to price stabilization
