Mission

THE CORPORATION IS ORGANIZED FOR THE CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE OF: ADVANCE THE SPREAD OF SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURE ALONG AFRICA'S "DEVELOPMENT CORRIDORS" IN WAYS THAT MEASURABLY IMPROVE THE INCOME OF SMALL FARMERS AND INTEGRATE THEM INTO A DYNAMIC, INTERNATINALLY COMPETITIVE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR.

About

IN 2018, THE NEW MARKETS LAB PARTNERED WITH NEW AND EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS TO FURTHER ITS MISSION OF ADVANCING THE SPREAD OF SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURE TO THE BENEFIT OF SMALL FARMERS AND COMMUNITIES:Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture (SFSA): NML continued its partnership with SFSA under its Seeds2B program, collaborating on policy, legal, and regulatory interventions to scale seed systems at the national and regional levels. In 2018, NML developed a manual on regional seed regulation in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), which is designed to increase agricultural trade, and a case study on Nigerias seed system designed to assess implementation of regional seed initiatives at the national level. NML also continued work on test cases to stress test regional regulatory systems and determine how they work in practice, which have facilitated registration of nearly thirty seed varieties across seven crops in East Africa. In addition, NML and SFSA focused on building regulatory capacity among breeders in a number of countries (Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Malawi, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and Mali) and assessing legal implications of demand-led seed breeding. NML also worked with SFSA on models for licensing agreements and intellectual property rights for plant breeders under the Partnership for Seed Technology Transfer in Africa (PASTTA) partnership supported by USAID which includes SFSA, NML, and the African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF). In addition, NML and SFSA continued work on a series of case studies and assessments related to the revisions to Chinas Food Safety Law and corresponding regulations as well as relevant food safety standards. These included an Assessment of International Good Practices for Food Safety in Electronic Commerce, an assessment of Chinas Food Safety Law, and case studies on dairy, kiwi, and potatoes. Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE): NML partnered with CIPE to complete a best practices legal guide on the regulatory framework surrounding digital trade and e-commerce, which was published in the fall of 2018. This guide covers key policy areas related to spurring e-commerce growth in emerging economies, with a focus on how to increase the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in electronic commerce across sectors. In addition, NML worked with CIPEs Africa team related to establishment of a National Business Council (NBC) in the Gambia, in light of Gambias new dedication to open government and support for private sector development. NMLs contribution focused on a model memorandum of understanding to guide the NBC. East Africa Trade and Investment Hub (EATIH) and USAID: In 2018, NML worked with EATIH on a USAID-funded project led by DAI to generate a situational analysis of the Kenya-Ethiopia Trade and Development Corridor (the Moyale Corridor). This situational analysis provided both an economic and legal diagnostic of factors affecting current trade flows along the Moyale Corridor, combining extensive desk and field research. The study analyzed how the corridor could deliver on its potential to improve regional agricultural trade and facilitate the movement of surplus staple foods to deficit areas. Among other outputs, NML developed a legal and regulatory analysis of the market environment, highlighting the key issues that affect trade between Kenya and Ethiopia, as well as offered targeted recommendations for strengthening the corridor over the short-, medium-, and long-term.Alliance for African Partnership (AAP): With support from a planning grant from Michigan State Universitys AAP, NML worked with a coalition of organizations to create the Partnership for Enabling Market Environments for Fertilizer in Africa (PEMEFA) in May 2017.PEMEFA is a consortium of five US- and Africa-based, internationally-focused institutions (the African Fertilizer and Agribusiness Partnership (AFAP), the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC), Michigan State University (MSU), NML, and the Regional Network of Agricultural Policy Research Institutes (ReNAPRI). PEMEFAs primary goal is to facilitate the transformation of African agriculture and smallholder farmers livelihoods by improving access to and use of fertilizers through comprehensive, relevant, and robust national and regional fertilizer policies and regulatory frameworks. In 2018, PEMEFA concluded the planning grant period by finalizing a proposal and budget for the second phase of project work. PEMEFA is continuing to seek opportunities to scale our research.Gap, Inc. and NIKE, Inc.: NML worked with GAP, Nike, NGOs, and a broad range of stakeholders to coordinate and lead a coalition on trade and development focused on U.S. trade and development policy, including the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program in the context of increasingly global supply chains and U.S. movement towards bilateral trade relationships. NML convened regular discussions and developed a White Paper on A Strategy for Trade and Development designed to build awareness and knowledge of trade and development programs, including GSP.
