Abstract
The alignment of strategy and vision between government and
member organisations in PisAgro is an important foundation to
achieve market based Thought Leadership via an inclusive model. In
practice, however, working across a large group of multi-stakeholders
with different ideologies, working cultures and agenda is challenging.
As projects progress from simple pilots to scale ups, the complexity of managing
these projects increases, adding more pressure on limited management and field
resources. In order to ensure scale-up sustainability and addressing project
implementation complexities, the inclusive culture of leveraging strengths, expertise
and sharing best practices of partners, have to be inculcated. Lastly, in the longer
term, there must be continuity of strong leadership in the public and private sectors
to drive the food security agenda. At the operational level, there must be stamina to
complete the journey, supported by the courage of parent companies and donor
organizations to continue to invest in market based opportunities to achieve crop
productivity gains, farmer prosperity and environmental sustainability.
