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’
