Deadline to apply for Netherlands Fellowship Programme (NFP): 1 October 2013
Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation is organizing the Training on ‘ Netherlands Fellowship for Training on ‘Rural entrepreneurship’ in the Netherlands from 16 – 27 June 2014. Support to participate in this training programme is available from the Netherlands Fellowship Programme (NFP).
Rural entrepreneurship has the potential to reduce poverty, increase food security and reduce unemployment. But entrepreneurship supposes a level of trust – and most actors in agricultural value chains do not really trust each other. And although many causes can be pointed out, the really important thing is to break the deadlock these value chains are in. This course hands you the tools to do that.
This training is conducted by Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation.

Upon completion of the course applicant will-
- have become sensitive to imbalances within agrifood value chains and how these issues can be addressed

- have strengthened your competence in the area of market access of small entrepreneurs
- have the ability to identify pro-poor, smallholder inclusive and/or gender-friendly agribusiness development opportunities
- be able to apply the tools that support private sector driven innovations in agrifood value chains
Target audience–
The course is intended for midcareer professionals of government departments, NGOs and civil society organisations, businesses, development agencies, universities and colleges for higher education, and individual consultants working in the domain of private sector and/or market driven development.
