WOCAN had a successful year in 2016, receiving recognition from the UNFCCC for developing the W+ Standard for measuring women's empowerment and climate mitigation. The W+ Standard was applied to renewable energy projects in Asia and Africa. WOCAN also provided technical support on gender equality to organizations funded by Sweden and the Green Climate Fund. A new strategic plan was developed to guide WOCAN's work in designing for new funding realities and broadcasting its mission over the next three years.
Stepping out in the right direction: Integrating gender in EADDILRI
Presented by Gerald Mutinda at the Gender and Market Oriented Agriculture (AgriGender 2011) Workshop, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 31st January–2nd February 2011
This document analyzes producer organizations (POs) and their ability to competitively supply smallholder farmers' products to formal markets like school feeding programs. It develops a framework to evaluate six key areas of PO competitiveness: 1) members' production potential, 2) coverage of core activities, 3) market integration level, 4) financial capacity, 5) efficiency and planning, and 6) human resource support. This framework was used to analyze 14 PO cases, finding diversity in performance. While direct business results were unclear due to data limitations, the analysis provides a picture of PO functions and identifies interventions to strengthen POs for effective participation in formal markets.
This initiative aims to improve the uptake and usage of financial services by providing guidance to financial institutions on becoming more customer-centric. It will develop a "Guide to the Customer-Centric Business Model" to help institutions implement customer-centric practices such as understanding customer needs, empowering employees, and designing customer experiences. The guide will provide five pillars of a customer-centric model and go through iterations over five years. It will also look to empower customers with information and skills to select and use financial products and services effectively.

During the past 15 years or so, several countries across the world – including India – have introduced and made major changes in the way their economies function. The earlier economic models have given way to market forces and its attendant processes of liberalization, privatization and globalization. Over the years, this process – which continues – has seen a boom in markets, mega-mergers of huge companies, the accumulation of wealth, and the growth of information technology

This document discusses using satellite data and crop modeling to forecast crop yields in Mozambique. It summarizes previous studies conducted in the US, Argentina, and Brazil to test a remote sensing crop growth and simulation model (RS-CGSM) for predicting corn and soybean yields. For Mozambique, additional data is needed on crop cultivars, management practices, planting and harvest seasons. It also describes using earth observation data and machine learning models to forecast crop yields and conditions across many countries as part of the GEOGLAM program, though this is currently only implemented in South Africa for Africa. Finally, it mentions a production efficiency model for estimating yield from satellite estimates of gross primary production.

A Look at Global Rice Markets: Export Restrictions, El Niño, and Price Controls

OCT 18, 2023 - 9:00 TO 10:30AM EDT
Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

This document provides an overview of the Political Economy and Policy Analysis (PEPA) Sourcebook virtual book launch. It summarizes the purpose and features of the PEPA Sourcebook, which is a guide for generating evidence to inform national food, land, and water policies and strategies. The Sourcebook includes frameworks, analytical tools, case studies, and step-by-step guidance for conducting political economy and policy analysis. It aims to address the current fragmentation in approaches and lack of external validity by integrating different frameworks and methods into a single resource. The launch event highlighted example frameworks and case studies from the Sourcebook that focus on various policy domains like food and nutrition, land, and climate and ecology.
- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports.
- Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets.
- Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.
