Presentation by Francois Stepman 14th IADG meeting in Berlin, 22nd-24th May
“The growing global demand for
agricultural innovation makes it vital
to assess the characteristics that
separate effective from ineffective
innovation fund mechanisms”
DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING
AGRICULTURAL INNOVATION FUNDS:
Lessons from Competitive Research and Matching Grant Projects
© 2010 The International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development/ The World Bank
What went wrong with
funding agricultural research for development?
 The absence of well-elaborated national policy,
over-compensated by an excess of donor initiatives
 The unrealistic time frame of donor initiated-
development goals
 The frequent ‘adjustments’ according to the donors’
own priorities and the methods and procedures in
fashion
 Donors and their aid administrators have short
memories, repeating the same mistakes
 Too many disorganized, uncoordinated and
technically weak actors at all levels, resulting
in a multitude of fragmented, competing,
contradicting, parallel activities which have
often interfered with the development of
national institutional capacities by enticing the
best people to come and work for them
 Low enabling environment for private
investments and for farmers to re-invest in
their farms
How to finance innovations in
pastoralism?
1. Value chain financing
2. Value chain based funding
3. National research calls
4. SME development funds

• What is value chain finance, how is it applied and
what can it offer to strengthen agricultural
development?
• How can financial systems, governments and
services be prepared for the demands of financing
modern agri-food chains?
• How does agricultural value chain financing affect
inclusion, especially for small producers and what
can be done to make these systems more
inclusive?
• What can governmental and non-governmental
(NGO) agencies do to support increased and more
effective agricultural financing through value
chains?
As agriculture and agribusiness modernize with
increased integration and interdependent
relationships, the opportunity and the need for value
chain finance becomes increasingly relevant
It can improve the overall effectiveness of those
providing and requiring agricultural financing.
It can improve the quality and efficiency of financing
agricultural chains
 identifying financing needs for strengthening the
chain;
 tailoring financial products to fit the needs of the
participants in the chain;
 reducing financial transaction costs through direct
discount repayments and delivery of financial
services;
 using value chain linkages and knowledge of the
chain to mitigate risks of the chain and its partners.
 Meeting the challenges of consumer trends and the
demand for more processed or value added
products requires increased investment in
equipment, working capital, and skills and
knowledge.
 Such investment is not only costly for individual
value chain businesses, but can only be undertaken
if there is an assurance from elsewhere in the chain
for supplies, produce or markets.

 Some countries have managed to put in place
structures for platforms to encourage
operational use of research results by
producers and took a serious option for
solving the problem of financing the system.
In Ivory Coast 18 value chains work with the
Fond Interprofessionnelle de la Recherche et du
Conseil Agricole (FIRCA) and 13 to 14 are
collecting fees.
The value chain actors identify the projects
which FIRCA finances in the field of applied
research, agricultural advice, technical training
and the reinforcement of capacities.
Examples: hevea , palm oil, coffee, cacao,
pigs, poultry, fruit-citrus
In Burkina Faso, the Ministry of Research
Science and Innovation created in January 2011
the National Fund for Research and Innovation
for Development (FONRID).
orientation of research towards demand and
national priorities;
improving the quality of scientific research;
the promotion of invention and innovation;
diversification of the scientific, technical and
financial partnership.
 Most businesses focus on managing their
operations.They are not necessarily focused on how
to improve their competitiveness through
innovation?
 Many businesses have limited ability to develop
good proposals. Developing concept notes and
grant proposals and assembling the required
documentation entails transaction costs (time,
resources).The private agri-sector may find it very
difficult (or reluctant) to provide time and cash to
match the grant?
 Limited experience and mistrust make the private
sector reluctant to engage with NGOs or
government-“driven” research activities and
thereby prevent actors outside the private sector
from entering into collaborative arrangements?
 Besides, the challenges of working with
smallholders in out grower schemes limits the
private sector’s interest in submitting proposals
The Delegation of the European Union to Uganda will
launch a SME Development Fund (Equity Fund) over
2- 3 months.
It will be open to all sectors of agribusiness, including
livestock.
The selection will be made on the basis of socio-
economic-environmental criteria and financial return
criteria.
The EU/Uganda aims at targeting at least 25-30
companies with the first closing of the fund.
 GlobE - Global Food Security.
Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany
 Reduction of Post Harvest Losses andValue Addition in East
African FoodValue Chains (University of Kassel): pastoral
meat value chains

Paepard presentation pastoralism financing

  • 1. Presentation by Francois Stepman 14th IADG meeting in Berlin, 22nd-24th May
  • 2. “The growing global demand for agricultural innovation makes it vital to assess the characteristics that separate effective from ineffective innovation fund mechanisms” DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING AGRICULTURAL INNOVATION FUNDS: Lessons from Competitive Research and Matching Grant Projects © 2010 The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/ The World Bank
  • 3. What went wrong with funding agricultural research for development?
  • 4.  The absence of well-elaborated national policy, over-compensated by an excess of donor initiatives  The unrealistic time frame of donor initiated- development goals  The frequent ‘adjustments’ according to the donors’ own priorities and the methods and procedures in fashion  Donors and their aid administrators have short memories, repeating the same mistakes
  • 5.  Too many disorganized, uncoordinated and technically weak actors at all levels, resulting in a multitude of fragmented, competing, contradicting, parallel activities which have often interfered with the development of national institutional capacities by enticing the best people to come and work for them  Low enabling environment for private investments and for farmers to re-invest in their farms
  • 6. How to finance innovations in pastoralism?
  • 7. 1. Value chain financing 2. Value chain based funding 3. National research calls 4. SME development funds
  • 8. Agricultural Value Chain Finance Tools and Lessons Calvin Miller and Linda Jones Published by FAO and Practical Action Publishing 2010 195 pages • What is value chain finance, how is it applied and what can it offer to strengthen agricultural development? • How can financial systems, governments and services be prepared for the demands of financing modern agri-food chains? • How does agricultural value chain financing affect inclusion, especially for small producers and what can be done to make these systems more inclusive? • What can governmental and non-governmental (NGO) agencies do to support increased and more effective agricultural financing through value chains?
  • 9. As agriculture and agribusiness modernize with increased integration and interdependent relationships, the opportunity and the need for value chain finance becomes increasingly relevant It can improve the overall effectiveness of those providing and requiring agricultural financing. It can improve the quality and efficiency of financing agricultural chains
  • 10.  identifying financing needs for strengthening the chain;  tailoring financial products to fit the needs of the participants in the chain;  reducing financial transaction costs through direct discount repayments and delivery of financial services;  using value chain linkages and knowledge of the chain to mitigate risks of the chain and its partners.
  • 11.  Meeting the challenges of consumer trends and the demand for more processed or value added products requires increased investment in equipment, working capital, and skills and knowledge.  Such investment is not only costly for individual value chain businesses, but can only be undertaken if there is an assurance from elsewhere in the chain for supplies, produce or markets.
  • 14.  Some countries have managed to put in place structures for platforms to encourage operational use of research results by producers and took a serious option for solving the problem of financing the system.
  • 15. In Ivory Coast 18 value chains work with the Fond Interprofessionnelle de la Recherche et du Conseil Agricole (FIRCA) and 13 to 14 are collecting fees. The value chain actors identify the projects which FIRCA finances in the field of applied research, agricultural advice, technical training and the reinforcement of capacities. Examples: hevea , palm oil, coffee, cacao, pigs, poultry, fruit-citrus
  • 16. In Burkina Faso, the Ministry of Research Science and Innovation created in January 2011 the National Fund for Research and Innovation for Development (FONRID). orientation of research towards demand and national priorities; improving the quality of scientific research; the promotion of invention and innovation; diversification of the scientific, technical and financial partnership.
  • 17.  Most businesses focus on managing their operations.They are not necessarily focused on how to improve their competitiveness through innovation?  Many businesses have limited ability to develop good proposals. Developing concept notes and grant proposals and assembling the required documentation entails transaction costs (time, resources).The private agri-sector may find it very difficult (or reluctant) to provide time and cash to match the grant?
  • 18.  Limited experience and mistrust make the private sector reluctant to engage with NGOs or government-“driven” research activities and thereby prevent actors outside the private sector from entering into collaborative arrangements?  Besides, the challenges of working with smallholders in out grower schemes limits the private sector’s interest in submitting proposals
  • 19. The Delegation of the European Union to Uganda will launch a SME Development Fund (Equity Fund) over 2- 3 months. It will be open to all sectors of agribusiness, including livestock. The selection will be made on the basis of socio- economic-environmental criteria and financial return criteria. The EU/Uganda aims at targeting at least 25-30 companies with the first closing of the fund.
