Item Public private partnerships: only for the well-off? Evidence from the rural productive partnership project in Colombia(Report, 2016-07-21) Parra-Peña, Rafael Isidro; Lundy, Mark M.; Bischler, Jana; Astorquiza, Bilver Adrian; Hurtado Bermudez, Jhon JairoThis paper focuses on assessing the evidence that Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) work well for producers from vulnerable backgrounds and/or located in post conflict zones. Looking at data from the Rural Productive Partnership Project (PAAP), a decade long program designed to overcome market barriers in Colombia, and using a combination of statistical and econometric techniques such as principal component analysis, survival models and impact assessment methods, results reveal that partnerships with vulnerable populations perform similar to others with better off participants. Partnerships in post-conflict zones perform slightly worse than those in other areas. Additionally, there is no difference in the duration of agribusiness contracts, regardless of producers’ backgrounds and location in a post-conflict zone or not. The impact assessment exercise confirms an increase in households’ sales of the PAAP product. These findings suggest that market access PPPs such as the PAAP can be inclusive, helping to link marginalized smallholder farmers to modern agricultural value chains.Item Do violent incidents affect the duration of agribusiness contracts of smallholder farmers? Evidence from Colombia(Audio, 2015-06) Parra-Peña, Rafael IsidroItem Productive Partnerships: An effective instrument for the inclusion of vulnerable population groups in diverse contexts of Colombia(Brief, 2015) Lundy, Mark M.; Parra-Peña, Rafael Isidro; Jaramillo, Carmen Lucía; Amrein, Alexandra; Hurtado Bermudez, Jhon Jairo; González, C.In Colombia, rural development requires institutional frameworks that help to reduce the current rural-urban divide. Policy instruments that promote productivity improvements, inclusion, and collective action focused on strengthening rural competitiveness are crucial. Twelve years of experience gained from the implementation of the Rural Productive Partnerships Project (PAAP), run by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR) with support from the World Bank, provides useful lessons in this regard. The importance of these lessons learned is highlighted by the results of a recent study of the Linking Farmers to Markets team of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), funded by the Ford Foundation. This study not only provides an overview of the positive innovative aspects of PAAP, but also proposes necessary adjustments to increase its impact.Item Metrópolis de Colombia: aglomeraciones y desarrollo(Journal Article, 2013) Ramírez Jaramillo, Juan Carlos; Parra-Peña, Rafael IsidroItem Variaciones en torno al escalafón de competitividad departamental en Colombia(Journal Article, 2013) Ramírez Jaramillo, Juan Carlos; Parra-Peña, Rafael IsidroItem Políticas que cierran brechas entre lo urbano y lo rural en Colombia(Brief, 2013-02) Parra-Peña, Rafael Isidro; Ordóñez, L; Acosta, C.A.Los procesos de urbanización acelerados plantean retos sin precedentes en términos de producción y seguridad alimentaria, entre otros. En Colombia, abordar las extensas implicaciones de este fenómeno requiere de esfuerzos en el ámbito público que desarrollen aún más el sector agrícola y, por lo tanto, conduzcan al país hacia un sendero de crecimiento sostenible e inclusivo socialmente. El éxito dependerá en parte de acciones políticas orientadas a reducir la división socio-económica entre las zonas urbanas y rurales. Por ejemplo, las iniciativas deberán estimular factores determinantes claves de desarrollo humano en las zonas rurales, promoviendo el acceso a la tierra, mejorando la administración pública municipal y cerrando la brecha de género, entre otros.Item LINK methodology: a participatory guide to business models that link smallholders to markets.

To address the extensive implications of this demographic shift, public efforts should be undertaken to strengthen the agricultural sector and set the country on a path toward sustainable growth. The success of those efforts will depend on their ability to narrow the socio-economic divide between urban and rural areas. Toward this end, public policy initiatives will need to stimulate key drivers of human development in rural areas by promoting access to land, improving public administration, and closing the gender gap.Item Colombian supply chains: how public policy shapes agriculture(Brief, 2013-02) Parra-Peña, Rafael Isidro; Miller, V; Lundy, Mark M.Over the last 15 years, public policies for rural development in Latin America have evolved significantly. One strategy that has been increasingly incorporated into national agendas involves the strengthening of agricultural supply chains through public sector initiatives, policies, and incentives. With the aim of promoting a competitive rural economy in an increasingly globalized world, Colombia has developed an innovative policy approach that focuses on the development of supply chain organizations at the regional level. This strategy has enormous competitive potential when it is well targeted and has strong institutional support, as evidenced by the Ford Foundation-funded study reported here.Item Strengthening regional supply chains for agricultural transformation in Colombia(Brief, 2014-07) Peña, Y; Miller, V; Parra-Peña, Rafael Isidro; Lundy, Mark M.Over the last 2 decades, Colombia has gained valuable experience in supporting agricultural supply chains. The government views this approach primarily as a means of achieving agricultural transformation, and to this end the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR, its Spanish acronym) has designed a set of innovative policies. Under these policies, regional committees plan and implement development initiatives in collaboration with the local public and private sectors. While achieving several notable successes, the committees have also come up against various challenges: boosting operational funds; developing stronger relationships with regional governments, private actors, and support systems; strengthening small-scale producer organizations; and, above all, creating a long-term regional vision for supply-chain development. Colombia must meet these challenges effectively if its public policies are to achieve the desired effect of enhancing agricultural productivity.
