A method for the analysis of innovative practice in connecting smallholder producers with dynamic sypply chains : Resource paper for component 2
This document provides a methodological framework for Component 2 of the Regoverning Markets programme - i.e. a comparative analysis of 32 case studies of innovative practice in connecting small-scale producers and SMEs with dynamic markets. This framework is not a blueprint, but it does emphasize the common elements that must be present in each Component 2 activity build a synthesis and a coherent set of conclusions and recommendations, starting from 32 very diverse and highly decentralized activities taking place throughout the world. The 32 case studies will focus on four 'drivers of innovation': (public) policy principles, (private) business models, collective action strategies by small-scale farmers, and intervention strategies and methods of development agencies. Each case study will generate policy lessons and working methods to guide public and private actors in supporting greater inclusion of small-scale producers in dynamic markets. This will be done on the basis of the following case study questions: The innovation and its context: What are the main characteristics of the innovation and its immediate context, both at the level of the supply chain and of directly relevant meso and macro trends, policies and institutions? Evolution: How did the innovation emerge over time and how did its evolution lead to greater inclusion of small-scale farmers and/or rural SMEs? What were the critical stages and the critical success factors in the evolution of the innovation? Evidence of inclusion: What are the costs and benefits of the innovation, and how are they distributed across different actors in the supply chain? What is the evidence of effectively greater inclusion of small farmers and/or rural SMEs, as a result of the innovation? What did the small farmers and/or rural SMEs gain or loose? Are these results sustainable? Drivers: What explains the greater degree of inclusion? What were the key drivers in terms of policy principles, business models, collective action and support systems? And now what...? What is the potential for upscaling or replication? What are the key challenges.
