at Value Chain level
[top]
Since
the identification of the value chains has taken place, for each of the
four value chains, Coordination Groups (CG) have been
established. The CGs are commodity oriented and therefore activities
decided within the chain for a particular commodity may take place outside
the specific lead region of intervention. Within these CGs, issues
at
various levels of intervention (policy, capacity building, technical,
funds) are taken into account in the coordination mechanisms.
Each CG
has chosen a “chain leader” as focal person who is guaranteeing the
ownership of the CG and who is representing the CG. The actual chain
leaders are all representing key organisations of the private sector in
their respective chain.
The
Groups consist of representatives of the key organisations that have been
identified and agreed to provide services related to constraints earmarked
in the respective intervention areas of the strategic intervention plans.
They include representatives of key actors in the chain (regional,
national or even international).
The
responsibilities of the Coordination Groups
(CGs) are:
-
Discuss and review Strategic Intervention Plans for the respective
agricultural value chain. This will include the roles of different
actors and the timing of desired interventions.
-
Discuss policy and operational issues affecting the specific chain at
national, regional and woreda levels and refer them to appropriate
levels for action.
-
Mediate conflicts of interest between partners at the implementation
level.
-
Conduct monitoring and review sessions on regular basis.
-
Coordinate programme activities to avoid duplication and overlap with
other similar interventions in the different levels of the chain.
-
Decides on priority subjects for Research and Study Fund, approves
ex-post on funding decisions of the Leverage Funds.
-
Facilitate communication and coordination between the different
components of the programme and with other interventions and actors.
-
Initiate periodic experience-sharing and learning sessions, particularly
with the representatives of the beneficiaries of the programme
intervention
