(Lucho) Osorio-Cortes Lead Trainer Noémie De La Brosse Co-Facilitator Regular (without accommodation) Workshop Lunch / Tea PMSD Facilitating market systems development for sustainable impacts that matter to the poor: Markets are complex systems of human relationships and rules in very challenging contexts. Markets in different sectors like agriculture, energy, health, sanitation, etc. can be a powerful “tool” to give marginalised actors in developing countries, and those who provide services to them, access to valuable networks, technologies, experiences and assets that can help them work their way out of poverty. However, markets can be plagued with inefficiency & inequality between different groups of people, especially in contexts where poverty is acute. This can be caused by a number of things, for example lack of access to critical information like prices, misunderstandings and conflicts between market actors, regressive policies and poor infrastructure. Over the last decade, market practitioners working for Practical Action across South Asia, Eastern and Southern Africa, Latin America and the UK have developed, tested and improved a participatory and systemic approach to markets that reduces poverty sustainably and at scale - PMSD. What is PMSD? Participatory Market Systems Development (PMSD) is Practical Action’s approach to inclusive market development. PMSD is based on three basic principles: participation, systems thinking and facilitation. Through this approach, Practical Action’s project teams have been facilitating a process that allows marginalised actors in low-income countries to gain access to more functional markets, to sell their products and services and increase their income. PMSD has been developed and improved in the last decade by Practical Action’s teams in Latin America, Africa and South Asia. All this experience has been synthesized and structured under the PMSD Roadmap: a ten-step platform designed to provide field practitioners with basic concepts and techniques to enable a broad range of private and public actors to make their market systems more inclusive, productive and efficient. After the course, the participants will have acquired a good understanding of the PMSD approach and the PMSD Roadmap to continue their learning process and train their teams and partners. Create understanding of PMSD as an innovative approach for changing the systems and structures that keep people poor: • Build understanding about market systems. • Provide concrete examples of the PMSD process and effects. • Create motivation or adopting PMSD principles methods and tools. • Design intervention to project and programme design. Some feedbacks from previous learning: “ ‘Key learning were discussed in detail and followed up by discussions. Expert panel were helpful’ ‘It was good as it was participatory as to share the experiences and views of the participants too; The powerpoint presentation along with theoreotical approach was good’ ‘Plan to integrate PMSD to our project implementation’ ” Practical Action Consulting (PAC) brings you a four-day training course on our specific approaches and tools for Market development.
