Nurture works in close cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and the Provincial Departments of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (PDAFF), together with other relevant government and private-sector counterparts. Nurture’s overall goal is to enhance the climate resilience of vulnerable smallholders farming households and their communities, while increasing their incomes through climate-proofing of agro-ecosystems.

Under the initiative of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (PDAFF), the Multi-Stakeholder Platform (MSP) has been strengthened as the Community Vegetable Trading Forum to promote fair and inclusive vegetable trading across four provinces. The partnership between PDAFF, EWS-KT, and Nurture aim to enhance collaboration among vegetable value chain actors, including agricultural cooperatives, service providers, producers, traders, and buyers.

To sustain and scale the MSP outcomes, there is a need to strengthen PDAFF’s capacity to facilitate business-oriented, fair, and inclusive vegetable trading practices.
