Operationalizing and Monitoring the
Harmonization of Seed Systems: Assessing
Institutional and Policy Issues
A Concept Idea!
What next with the Seed System?
The main challenge:
1. How to make the regional variety
release system concept work.
2. Regional capacity gaps at different
levels-including policy on other inputs.

Harmonization Main Areas
1. Implementation : which
institutions are involved
2. Monitoring- framework and
indicators
3. Capacity gaps??

How?
PART 1:
Know who is doing what
– Institutional and capacity assessments-both
public and private sector stakeholders involved
in agricultural input markets.
– Documenting the impacts of agricultural inputs
policies on the regional efficiency of the
agricultural sector
– Conduct a comprehensive review of agricultural
input policies region in relation to free
movement of inputs from one country to
another.

How?
• PART 2:
1. Develop a framework to operationalize and monitor
the regional variety release system:
– Promote dialogue aimed at informing both public
and private sector stakeholders on the progress
on harmonization..continuous.
– Develop a mechanism to monitor the
harmonization of the seed systems.
– Support capacity development and
institutionalization of an input policy monitoring
and analysis system.
– Policy research to support both public and
private sector actors at both national &regional
levels

If you want to sell a product
I. First Segment: Untapped Market. Consumers
who do not know that innovation exists/ not
considered as possible consumers of that
innovation in the time period t.
II. Second Segment: Effective Potential Market.
This is where consumers from segment 1: are
now potential consumers of the innovation in
the time period t.
III. Third Segment: Current Market. Consumers
who have already bought the innovation in the
time period t : the adopters of the innovation.

Generic Lessons (1-3)
1. Work with smallholder farmers as partners
2. Private sector involvement
3. Government is a key partner (Policy issues)
4. Smallholders are potential buyers of seeds/inputs…
