Supporting resilient and sustainable supply chains.

Project Description

Strong farmer organisations are the basis for food sovereignty and sustainable production, as well as for sustainably functioning supply chains. The PAFO exchange platform was therefore established to strengthen “learning from each other”. The Pan-African Farmers’ Organisation PAFO thus offers its member organisations (regional and national farmers’ organisations) the opportunity to exchange views on important issues in a virtual space (e.g. on advocacy, climate, trade, …). In this way, strong solutions are identified among some and shared with others. Or new solutions are developed together. The format is accompanied by PAFO’s own facilitators. Through the peer-to-peer approach, which is supported by the AHA in the framework of a BMZ-funded project, internal resources are mobilised in an appreciative way and thus strengthened more effectively.
