Guiding Seed Sector Transformation in Africa Conference: Session Recordings

In times of emergency or natural disasters, seed systems may be disrupted. In these situations, donors aim to deliver rapid-response interventions, but these interventions are often hastily thought out, context-inappropriate and risk weakening the overall system as it recovers and develops. This action learning project proposes to examine donor responses in situations of seed insecurity and aims to develop and/or adapt existing tools to allow donors to 1) quickly assess the context and prioritize their interventions in a timely, coordinated and effective manner, and 2) ensure that their interventions minimally disrupt current market systems and actors, and that they increase overall resilience of the system and ability to bounce back from future shocks.
