Descripción
A growing variety of public and private agricultural advisory services are available today, leading to increasingly ‘pluralistic service systems’ (PSS) in which advisory services are provided by different actors and funding sources. PSS hold the potential to overcome constraints related to funding, staffing and expertise, and making advisory services more demand-driven. But how PSS can effectively respond to demands of heterogeneous farmers, especially the most vulnerable? How aspects of govern ance, accountability and coordination are dealt with in PSS; How policies and transformative investments can make PSS more inclusive; How can public and private actors support service providers in improving the quality, relevance and reach of their services? What is the role of farmers and their organizations in inclusive PSS? These were some of the questions raised by FAO Expert Consultation on Inclusive PSS. The side event presents the outcome of the Consultation, validates policy recommendat ions and identifies priorities for action.
