We work with agriculture stakeholders and policymakers to understand and dismantle systemic enabling environment constraints by providing technical assistance and advisory services and developing strategic public-private partnerships. Through these avenues, we are improving the enabling environment around a variety of issues, including customs, input supply, land tenure, agricultural finance, natural resource management, trade, and sanitary and phyto-sanitary regulations.
