1. Revisit your donuts from day 1
2. IdenHfy the areas where you are working in the market system – these are the funcHons of the system you circled in the day 1 exercise. Focus on the two funcHons you think are most important for inclusive growth
3. For each of the two funcHons, define the three most important changes in these funcHons you would like to see over the next three years.
4. How do you think these changes will contribute to inclusive growth over Hme?
Strategic Framework: Musika
Systemic interven-on
Poverty reduc-on
Improved enterprise performance
Market system change
Economic ac-vi-es of the poor are yielding be=er returns (income + jobs) because they are part of a market system that is growing, inclusively
Be=er markets – rela-onships, rules, incen-ves and capaci-es -‐-‐ allows economic ac-vi-es of the poor to be managed for be=er returns.
Markets with stronger capaci-es to learn, adapt and change increases growth and access to opportuni-es among poor people (and everyone in the market).

To increase the performance of the whole industry over time to:
o Meet/exceed changing market requirements (REFER BACK earlier slide on performance)
o Foster a systemic change process towards: § Broader and deeper commercial relationships § Ongoing innovation and upgrading § Benefit flows that drive better relationships and innovation
o Bring about inclusive growth
FacilitaHon Principles: Why
Is this facilitaHon of market system change?
• Task (class discussion) – Patrick Boateng, project manager of the Rice Value Chain Project, reports to donor Shiela Quayson on the project’s achievements in meeHng annual targets and what lies behind their success
– Can this case be described as “facilitaHon”? Give reasons why/why not?
FacilitaHon Principles STRATEGY: Use levers to catalyze behaviour change:
– Players see the value (incenHves) of playing by different rules/norms – Players have the capacity and willingness to iniHate the change
Build momentum to sustain a beder performing system
– Breadth (more coverage) – Depth (norms more deeply rooted)
TACTICS: Foster effecHve market rela-onships and ownership by:
- Buying down risks in the short term
- Encouraging self selecHon to test ownership
- ConHnually test durability of changes
Deploy resources of appropriate intensity:
- Roles in relaHon to market actors
- Resources in relaHon to market norms

Leverage: Finding It Rela-onship Structures
§ Economic (geographic nodes in the system) § Social (local leaders, key influencers)
Rules § Formal (standards, regulaHons) § Informal (aftudes, norms)
Knowledge Flows § Exchange mechanisms for knowledge and skills embedded in commercial transacHons
§ Media § Formal/informal networks

Exercise: Working with Leverage Orienta-on: There are four (4) different scenarios. Each scenario describes an opportunity or a problem that could offer the project a means to leverage wider systemic change in favor of market system improvement while also decreasing the need for project resources.
§ Maize Farmers with Cash Flow Problem § Maize Trader Needs to Source Much Larger Volumes of Maize § Government Mandate to Increase Food Security in Rural Areas § Large Maize Miller Enforcing Outgrower Contracts
Task: Read, discuss the scenarios and answer two quesHons. 1. What type of leverage does the scenario present? 2. Which opHon will leverage pro-‐poor systemic change?
– a beder choice – no clear choice – no feasible opHon
3. Be prepared to present your choices in plenary.

Partner SelecHon Exercise (1)
TASK: • Revisit your donuts, again • Frame the objecHve of one of your intervenHon areas
• What changes do you want to bring about? • Who are your partners for this intervenHon?
– IdenHfy up to 3 exisHng partners. • Why did you choose these partners?
– List your partner selecHon criteria.
SelecHng a partner
Momentum Poten-al 2. Indicates support for/or resistance to desired change 3. Indicates competence 4. Indicates influence on broader system change
Leverage Poten-al 1. Point for achieving large-‐scale change

Partner SelecHon Exercise (2)
• Re-‐assess your 3 partners using the will/skill matrix
• Re-‐consider your choice of partner: – ConHnue as is – ConHnue but change – Drop/Add
• Will the focus of your partnership change? • Use worksheet (2) to record your discussion
Summary: Using Partner SelecHon Criteria
• To understand partner’s posiHon to…
– Leverage wider system change thru firm behavior – Versus leverage project outcomes.
• To assess partner’s readiness to test new business aftudes/pracHces… – Longer term growth vs. short term gain. – Build relaHonships vs. win the transacHon – Separate business from family dynamics
