Jobs. Demographic shifts. Su stainability. Global trade.\n\n To meet these challenges and more\, f arming must change. Farmers and farmer organizations in emerging markets m ust become more professional and more productive. A well-run farmer organi zation is more likely to access finance\, inputs\, and services\, which me ans it can sell more and do more for its members.\n\n The result is g reater food security and more sustainable livelihoods for farming families .\n\n It’s clear that farmer organizations must professionalize. Bu t can professionalism be systematically built and measured? And will more professional organizations be rewarded with better market access?\n\n You are invited to a presentation that explains why the answer to those q uestions is YES.\n\n IFC is a founding member of the Agribusiness Mar ket Ecosystem Alliance (AMEA)\, a consortium of NGOs and development agenc ies that has two goals: (1) help farmer organizations achieve defined stan dards of professionalism\; and (2) facilitate market access for these newl y professional organizations.\n\n\n11:30 to 13:00 with lunch: Launch of IFC’s Global Cooperative Curriculum for farmer organizations\n\n Th e first AMEA initiative is IFC’s Global Cooperative Curriculum (GCC). Th e GCC links assessment\, training\, and intensive coaching together in a 1 2- to 18-month program designed to help farmer organizations reach the pro fessionalism criteria defined by SCOPEinsight. The program was developed b y a team of IFC cooperative specialists and instructional designers. This launch follows recent successful pilots in Cameroon and Cote d’Ivoire.\n \n The goal of the presentation and Q&A session is to introduce the G CC and explain how AMEA partners and others can use it.\n\n\n\n\n SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-US:Webex on strengthening professional capacity of Prod ucer Organizations DTSTART;TZID=W.
