Rural extension models in Peru aim to improve livelihoods for extremely poor communities. Two complementary models are the PATs (Producer Assistance Teams) and Kamayoqs. The PATs are local entrepreneurs trained to provide technical assistance and link small producers to markets. They play an important role in value chains. The Kamayoqs are certified extension farmers who disseminate appropriate technologies and respond to technical demands. Both models work to build local capacity and increase incomes in remote, impoverished areas through a demand-driven, sustainable approach.
This presentation highlights the joint effort that CARE and Practical Action have undertaken in Peru to reach the extremely poor with extension services. CARE's private sector model for technical assistance provision and Practical Action's Kamayoq model have both been highly successful and offer a strategy for reaching the poorest smallholder farmers with inputs and education to better agricultural and livestock value chains.
The document discusses public-private partnerships (PPPs) in agribusiness and proposes a capacity building PPP model for Ekiti State, Nigeria. [1] It outlines how PPPs can combine business and development goals to benefit farmers, the private sector, government, and development partners. [2] A successful example is described - the Sustainable Tree Crop Program increased cocoa yields, farmer incomes, and private sector investment. [3] The proposed model would use PPPs to professionalize agricultural extension and build a sustainable training system to help Ekiti State double its cocoa output and realize its agricultural vision.
This document provides an overview of various sustainable energy projects supported by the Sustainable Energy Solutions for Africa (SESA) program across four African countries - Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. It describes 14 consumer solar lighting initiatives that tested different business models, distribution approaches, and financing options. It also discusses two cookstove projects and 9 pilot community lighting centers that explored commercial viability. The document highlights key lessons learned around different route to market strategies, partnerships, product financing, and the need for collaboration and innovation to accelerate market growth. It provides contact information for the implementing organizations of different SESA-supported initiatives in each country.
The document summarizes the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, which aims to adopt clean cookstoves and fuels for 100 million households by 2020. It discusses the renewed interest in clean cookstoves due to new technologies, monitoring tools, and evidence of their benefits. The Alliance works with over 350 experts and 11 working groups to develop a strategy to increase demand, strengthen supply, and foster an enabling environment for clean cookstoves. It is focusing initially on priority countries in East Africa, South Asia, and Central America, and developing standards, research, and tools to catalyze the sector.
The document discusses issues related to implementing green and sustainable practices in rural economies. It notes challenges such as food security, inconsistent regulations, and high costs of renewable energy. It advocates for supporting rural job creation through diversification of farm income streams and environmental protection. Examples of strategies discussed include developing rural enterprise networks, advising on sustainable building practices, and demonstrating environmental village plans. The document emphasizes taking an integrated approach to rural business support.
The document discusses the emerging challenges facing agricultural extension services in India and ways to reform extension. It argues that extension needs to play a broader role in supporting farmers by addressing complex on-farm and off-farm issues, building networks among various actors, and linking farmers to markets and other support services. It also suggests that extension should use new theoretical frameworks that view agriculture as an innovation system with many interlinked actors. Case studies provide lessons on how partnerships between extension and other actors can provide integrated support to farmers through credit-plus, market-plus, and extension-plus models.

The document discusses challenges to scaling ICT-agriculture models. It identifies key challenges as engaging ecosystem players across the agricultural value chain, developing sustainable business models, addressing functional illiteracy, ensuring community participation, overcoming technological bottlenecks, and providing funding support. Specific barriers mentioned include lack of collaboration between stakeholders, non-transparency in value chains, need for skills training of village operators, importance of community ownership, issues of connectivity and power infrastructure, and need for advocacy and partnerships to facilitate financial and institutional support. The document argues that addressing these challenges can help replicate and scale successful ICT agriculture pilots to maximize social and economic impacts.
The document summarizes lessons learned from an experience sharing activity on technical assistance providers (TAPs) in Peru. Key points include: partnerships with academic/private institutions and certification systems can help TAPs continue providing quality services; community-based TAP models offer more long-term guarantees; leadership and business training should be included; economic sustainability requires clearly defined paid services; governments can be allies but independence must be maintained; success rates of TAP businesses need consideration in project design; and TAPs can promote gender equality.

Business oriented farmers' cooperatives can play a key role in agricultural transformation and participatory research in Cameroon in the following ways:
1. They can help organize farmers, disseminate technologies, improve marketing efficiency, diversify farmer incomes, provide credit, and advocate for supportive policies.
2. As private enterprises owned by members, cooperatives can link production with supply chains and transfer knowledge to farmers through participatory approaches.
3. STCP aims to support cooperatives and empower farmers by improving cocoa production, diversifying incomes, linking social and technical messages, and taking a supply chain approach that considers production, marketing, and farmer organization.
The document discusses higher education, innovation, and industry perspectives. It notes that the ways of doing business and achieving success are changing. Universities can play roles in alternative growth pathways through education, adding to knowledge, problem solving capacity, and open conversations. Effective university-industry partnerships and capacity building are important for innovation but remain fragmented. Collaboration between government, universities, and industry is essential for innovation in the modern globalized economy.
This presentation shares CARE Peru's experience promoting the establishment of independent, private sector service providers in various agricultural value chains.

This document discusses key learnings for successful inclusive business models from examples like Grundfos Lifelink, Cemex, ITC eChoupal, and MyC4. Nearly 200 business models have been documented that range from multinational companies to social enterprises. Some benefits of inclusive business models include tapping large, attractive BOP markets, leveraging local innovations globally, and driving resource efficiency innovations. Successful models often involve product or delivery innovations, adapting to local infrastructure conditions, building trust-based relationships, and forming partnerships with non-traditional partners. Overcoming constraints within large organizations requires an intrapreneurial approach of creatively combining limited resources.

This document discusses opportunities to empower the poor through social entrepreneurship initiatives targeting basic needs. It notes that 4 billion people are currently neglected in markets and pay a "poverty premium". While some sectors like telecoms and microfinance have seen success serving the bottom of the pyramid (BoP), there is potential for growth in other areas like housing, energy, food, water, and sanitation. The document outlines a framework for building high-potential partnerships to identify opportunities, plan interventions, form partnerships, and implement projects targeting the BoP through innovative business models and franchising approaches. It provides an example of a proposed "SaniShop" micro-franchise initiative aiming to sell 10 million toilets across several countries

• While Peru is a middle
income country and
fastest growing economy
in the region
• A sample of 200
households in 2006 in
Puno reported:
– 87% living below the
poverty line and
– 60% below the extreme
poverty line.
– 30% of children under 5 in
the region suffer chronic
malnutrition
3. Different VCs (and similar problems)
• Low Productivity
• Limited access to finance,
• Poor input supply
• Inefficient Commercialization
In a middle income country with a vibrant
economy:
• High potential of local markets
• Relatively resourceful Government, with a focus on
fighting poverty
• Relatively higher cost of interventions

Editor's Notes
Good morning, I am pleased to present the project that CARE Peru has developed to improve the availability and accessibility of the services offered by the Providers of Technical Assistance (also known as PAT). These services are to be in line with the needs and conditions of families living in rural areas. This also addresses the sustainability of our interventions beyond the life of the project.
The PATs are local young people without higher education or graduates of local universities and colleges with service-oriented enterprise who are trained to provide technical assistance to small rural producers based on demand. They solve the lack of technical assistance in rural areas. Exist 2 types or PAT: The PAT for cattle value chain, and The PAT for agricultural value chain.
Before the PAT, the producers couldn't have technical assistance services according to their demand. The economic activity was not viable. When exist a development project in the zone, the project give the technical assistance services. But, what happen when the project finishes? Producers have wasted opportunities beyond the life of the project. With the PAT, who are from the same communities , there are no cultural barriers to interaction. The PAT is sustainable. They charge to the producers for their services. Nowadays, the revenues generated from these services range between 500 and 1,300 soles per month (U.S. $ 195 - U.S. $ 500). Farmers pay PAT per visit after weighing the livestock. Then the farmers know how much weight was gained and therefore can estimate the value of their livestock. For example, before CARE, on average, the livestock gained weight between 0,1 to 0,2 Kg per day but now, the livestock increases its weight between 1 and 1.5 kg per day. Before, a small farmer was not able to participate in the market and make recurrent profit because it did not have sufficient volume of production.
How is the selecting of the PATs? Exist 2 types or PAT: The PAT for cattle value chain, and The PAT for agricultural value chain. In the case of the beef cattle value chain: The PAT is chosen by the community. The young lives in the same community and speaks the local language. They have the same business too, so they have cattles for fattening. In the case of the agricultural value chain: The PAT are selected through a competition open to young graduates from universities and technical institutes.

The principal role of the PAT is give technical assistance services to the producers and to provide sustainability and viability to the value chain. They increase the productivity of the products, link to the market (they identify the buyer) and facilitates access to finance. They are the link with the market and, the most important, they give sustainability to the value chain. In the agricultural Value Chain, the PAT does not just provide technical assistance, he also help with the link with the market. Contracts are drafted among producers, buyers and the PATs, fixing the prices of the products and the commission that the PAT will receive. With the harvest and sell of the products, the PAT receives payment for his service. This is one of the differences with the livestock PAT. Another difference in the agricultural PAT, they are professional and technical young, and the PAT in cattle value chain has studied only basic education.
