Editor's Notes

  1. Q: What do you think ‘market literacy’ means? How would you define it?Market literacy enables actors to understand the factors that shape the market systems in which they participate; the interconnectednessand interdependencyof different actors and therefore the importance of relationships and interactionbetween these actors toachieving improvements in inclusion, equitability and competitiveness of the market system.Market literacy skills also allowmarginalised actors to see the economic factors that strongly influence behaviourof market actors. Helping marginalised actors understand why other market actors make the choices that they do is very important. It enables them to strategise how they can interact with other actorson terms that will interest them. Skills that actors should gain:Understanding a system and placing themselves in it – seeing past one’s own immediate space (for example their farm, intermediary or shark lender) to seeing the system as a whole and where they fit in itSeeing their influence on others – this is connected to seeing themselves as part of the system. It may feel to them like their actions have little impact on others, and it’s important to start to understand the connectedness and interdependence of all the parts of the systemSeeing themselves as knowledge-holders – they may not previously have been valued for the knowledge they have, but it will become increasingly vital as the process goes on. They will have knowledge that is required both by other market actors and by fellow producers. It is also important that they see the value of knowledge to them and their businessUsing business language – to ensure that they can communicate effectively and be heard and taken seriously. One specific and important example is the understanding of the issue of price as one more helpfully discussed in terms of quality and volume
  2. Q:What do you think we mean by multi-actor interaction? This is the process whereby representatives of producers or other marginalised groups will need to engage with other actors in the system in order to transform the system as a whole. Interaction skills enable marginalised actors to have the confidence to interact with more powerful actors in the market system and to have the ability make this interaction effective.  Skills that actors should gain:Understanding the importance of interaction for change– knowing that one actor alone cannot affect change in the entire system and understanding that by working together changes can be made that benefit everyone. Seeing the benefits of creating trust and transparency Seeing from others’ points of view – in order to bring others on board by understanding their needs and motivations.Communicating clearly, concisely and confidently – to maximise the input and inclusion of the groupArticulating barriers and solutions – in a constructive way that is understood by all. Being able to describe the impact on others of a particular barrier and the benefits to others in cooperating in the solution.
  3. Q: What do you think we mean by Representation and mobilisation? This is the process whereby a small number of representatives takes forward the issues identified by the marginalised group. This is because the processes involved – market mapping, action planning, interest forums etc are far more effective with small groups of people, and there may well be hundreds if not thousands of producers involved in a market system.Understanding the benefits of coordination and cooperation – that by working together everyone can be more effective and get their needs metRepresenting common challenges – it is vital that representatives know they are spokes-people for the group as a whole, and so the forum is not a space for them to voice their specific issues Reporting back effectively – because information is power. It is really important that reporting back is done effectively and regularly so that all can benefitGetting other actors excited about change - A good representative needs to be a mobiliser – to encourage the other farmers in the system to engage, take interest and seek ways to make the process work for them
