The objective of this national consultation workshop is to further refine and validate the Samoa National Action Plan for local food crops and fisheries value chain development and design a roadmap for mainstreaming the priority interventions into national policy and programme processes leading to its final endorsement through shared ownership.
This workshop is part of a series of workshops supported under the CTA/IFAD/PIPSO project: "Promoting Nutritious Food Systems in the Pacific Islands".
This multi-stakeholder workshop identify key country specific actions for influencing policy and regulatory frameworks and mechanisms, and attracting additional funding for supporting sustainable public-private producer partnerships for agribusiness and "nutrition sensitive" value chain development.
Additionally, the aim is to agree on the need for establishing and maintaining the Value Chain Coordination/Agricultural Innovation (VCC/AI) in-country platform to address the critical and interconnected issues for enhancing VC development and gain buy-in for joint action for improving incomes and nutrition outcomes.
