The development and improvement of the Agri-BDS system in Côte d’Ivoire will address three major issues:

1. Ensure the quality of people, coaches and service provision
2. Improve synergies by implementing a mechanism to encourage coordination between existing BDS providers
3. Achieve scalability by sharing cost-effective approaches and programmes reaching a wide range of FOs and Agri-SMEs

The BDS Roadmap is at an early stage but has some good ideas as shown in the chart below. We expect to significantly advance this Roadmap in 2024. This Roadmap process is open to any organization which has a strategic and committed interest to improve BDS quality and scalability in Côte d’Ivoire.
