| dc.description | The “Bean Corridor”, a market-driven model for implementing research and development activities by bringing together a range of stakeholders to achieve economic intensification in production, distribution and consumption hubs. Driven by lead firms, platforms provide actors with space for enhancing interactions, learning, negotiations and transactions in a facilitated environment. PABRA has facilitated bean platforms in 15 countries platforms resulting in enhanced business opportunities and increased investments along bean value chains. The platforms have attracted membership from several enthusiastic partners led by several private sector actors (seed companies, agro-dealers, aggregators, exporters and processors). Partners have attracted investments into bean value chains creating sustained market linkages for producers. The experiences demonstrate that scaling of promising technologies requires systematic facilitation. Linkages with private sector, leveraging national programs, learning and engagement with communities through the innovation platforms have been instrumental to the growth of bean subsector in target countries. | |
