See presentation here (with audio) or here (PPT)

Date: Thursday, June 28th 2018

Time: 1 pm GMT, 8 am Lima, 4 pm Nairobi

Duration: 1 h

Objective: We will present a framework to analyze key seed system functions from the perspectives of all stakeholders, to identify how their roles mesh together so that no key functions or players are ignored. The framework is presented as a table. The first column lists the stakeholders (e.g. seed users, seed producers, traders, regulators, researchers) of the seed system. The top row lists the functions of the seed system (availability, access and quality), subdivided into action-oriented categories. Have a look at the following resources:
