Analyse des relations de pouvoir pour la fourniture de matériel végétal certifié. Situation initiale (2012) et situation après intervention de la plate-forme d’innovation (2013).
| The initial situation (2012) | |
|---|---|
| Power over Researchers: developing and selling hybrid seedlings and responsible for certifying seedling quality |
Power to Nursery holders: serving small farmers but not well spread through the production zone & with opportunities for cheating customers; can choose to become licensed Extension agents: can corrupt the system by encouraging or ignoring sales of inferior material |
| Power with Extension agents (supporting or corrupting the seed system, together with unauthorised nurseries, and farmers seeking cheap seedlings) |
Power within |
| The situation following actions taken by IP members (2013) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Power over CRA-PP researcher: monitors nursery practices; confers or withdraws annual certificate of authorised nurseries, certifies seedling quality CRA-PP: licensing authority, ensures supply of certified seedlings, develops best practices |
Power to IPs: transform the situation Micro-finance organisations and input dealers: promote and extend good practices Nursery holders: choose to become licensed, influence the seedling market FBOs: encourage farmers to buy only from licensed nurseries |
|
| Power with Extension agents: under pressure from CBOs, FBOs and NGOs comply with the new norms for best practice and work with IPs to support integrity of the new seed system IP members: act with other stakeholders to introduce and monitor the licensing system |
Power within Champions within and outside IP: raise awareness of importance of maintaining the integrity of the seed system |
