At the end of the current Dutch government’s term, the AgriProFocus network looks back and forward on the Aid & Trade agenda. In the “Making agribusiness work for development” event on February 6, 2017, AgriProFocus members and other experts from the agri-food sector are invited to share their lessons learned, get inspired by the insights and stories of others and generate new ideas for the future.

What are the experiences of the various stakeholders involved in agribusiness in developing countries? What is the added value of partnerships and cooperation? Which elements of this agenda have been successful for improving farmer entrepreneurship to increase food and nutrition security? What would our advise be to a new minister and to ourselves: what to keep, what to stop and what to start with?

How successful is the Netherlands in linking Aid & Trade? How can we create stronger linkages between the different stakeholders of the “Dutch Diamond”?  Do the muddy boots from the field ever meet the shiny office shoes, are they different worlds or do they walk together? The AgriProFocus network has the pleasure to invite you to this unique event. Join us and learn by sharing and reflecting on experiences with the Aid & Trade policy, show leadership by looking ahead and explore opportunities to work together (better)!
