USDA and P4P – Connecting Farmers to
MarketsA 5 year pilot program was launched in 21 countries beginning September of 2008.
In FY 2009, USDA donated $4.7 million to Purchase for Progress pilot programs in Mali, Tanzania, and Malawi
Tanzania:
2899 MT maize and 424 MT beans
Purchased from 13 Farmers Groups / SACCOS (Savings and Credits cooperative societies) & NFRA (National Food Reserve Agency)
Beneficiaries included those affected by HIV-AIDS , school-feeding and refugees
Challenges and Lessons Learned
Tanzania P4P: “transactions are informal, farmers are typically price takers and there is no adherence to a transparent grading system and no incentive to invest in quality produce”
Haiti Cash : “implementing such a new and large scale program within a difficult social and economic environment in the aftermath of a large humanitarian disaster”
Challenges Continued…
Kenya LRP: Defaults due to rising prices
Sudan Vouchers: Preparatory time needed before actual implementation
SuccessesAvailability and use of diverse toolbox to
meet diverse needs in complex environments
Facilitating the shift from food aid to food assistance
