The IPMS project adopted a participatory market oriented commodity value chain approach to implement Ethiopia's strategy of transforming subsistence agriculture into a more commercial system. The approach involved diagnosing farming systems and marketable commodities in 10 districts, designing interventions for production, agribusiness, and marketing, and building knowledge and capacity. Interventions included awareness campaigns, dairy value chain development, knowledge management through training and documentation, and monitoring and evaluation. The project helped develop more commercially oriented agriculture and alternative input and service delivery systems at the district level while also building capacity at regional and federal levels. Main lessons indicated continuous engagement is needed to further production and support regional/federal systems for inputs, processing, and
IPMS Project background and approach
- 1. Background and approach IPMS projectDirk HoekstraMarket-Oriented Smallholder Development: IPMS Experience-Sharing WorkshopILRI, Addis Ababa, 2-3 June 2011
- 3. Approach
- 7. Policy environmentThe Ministry started formulating new policies aimed at transforming subsistence agriculture into a more market oriented agricultural system some 10 years ago.This was reflected in the PASDEP for the period 2005-2010.
- 8. PASDEP EmphasisFrom subsistenceTo market oriented
- 9. PASDEP EmphasisGender balanced development Increased cooperative/private sector involvement
- 10. CIDA Ministerial visit to Ethiopia resulted in willingness to finance IPMS project
- 11. Approach
- 12. How do you implement such a market oriented strategy?? What should be the approach? Will it be the same as for food security and natural resource management?How do we design/test it?
- 13. Possible answer to the approach questionAdopting a participatory market oriented commodity value chain approachSo what does it mean and how does it complement previous approachesDevelopment through field testing and learning

- 54. So was a new approach developed?At District level
- 55. Various knowledge management interventions operational
- 56. Service providers and farmers capacitated for market oriented development
- 57. Linkages between producers, other value chain actors and service providers operational
- 58. Change to commercially oriented agriculture using modern technologies
- 59. Alternative input supply , service delivery systems and marketing intervetions operational
- 60. Role of extension starts changing from input supplier to knowledge broker and facilitator of linkages
- 61. At regional and federal level
- 62. EAP operational and increased understanding of the importance of knowledge for development
- 63. Selected regional and federal level staff capacitated for market oriented development
- 64. Increased understanding of value chain developmentMain lessons & lessonsDevelopment is a continuous process which requires continuous engagement new responses and involvement of new actors and service providers
- 65. Role of commercially oriented value chain actors can be the engine for development
- 66. Key areas for future development, to increase production in the Districts:
- 67. Regional/federal level support system
- 68. Supply of inputs and services and
- 69. Processing and marketing of products beyond the District.Thank You
