Transforming Seed Marketing – Lessons from Ethiopia

Co-Organized by Ethiopia’s Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA), the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM), and the Integrated Seed Sector Development Programme in Ethiopia (ISSD Ethiopia)

November 25, 2020

  • 3:00 – 4:30 pm (Africa/Nairobi)
  • 7:00 – 8:30 am (US/Eastern)
  • 5:30 – 7:00 pm (Asia/Kolkata)

Having shifted from centralized seed supply to a growing system of direct seed marketing (DSM), the ways in which farmers in Ethiopia hear about and access quality seed are unrecognizable from just a decade ago.

This webinar will share different perspectives on this transformation, highlight innovations – from piloting to scaling and embedding – that helped move it forward, and discuss key lessons on the types and roles of coalitions in this journey.
