Abstract
The Non-Traditional Finance for Agriculture (NTF4Ag) project “NTF4Ag: Emerging Lessons and New Frontiers” brings together key results, insights from the case studies, pilot projects, and cross-cutting research conducted by Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA) and its partners over the last three years. Advocating for “farmer-centric” approaches, the project will enable better financial services in support of agricultural innovation uptake in East Africa (Malawi, Kenya, Rwanda); South Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan); and South America (Peru, Bolivia). There is often a strong demand for marketing assistance but very low adoption of marketing services. New finance models are needed.
