Outreach

Who are the partner organizations that we will work with to co-create this concept?

FPOs and Capacity Building orgs

• Velugu (AP)

• IDF (Karnataka)

• Skillgreen (working together on FPO videos)

• APMAS. See here for takeaways from their Vision 2030 workshop

• Center for Sustainable Ag

• NAFPO

• Swayam Shikshan Prayog (SSP). Helpful background on their approach and focus on agriculture based livelihoods.

Subject matter experts

• Emmanuel Murray

• Prof. Shambu Prasad

• Some questions for this group:

  • How much share capital to FPO members put up?

  • Any examples of FPOs paying member dividends?

  • Are there any decisions that FPO members get to vote on? Leadership election? Securing a loan at the FPO level? Practically, how does that happen (everything from proposal development to member awareness to voting to thresholds for approval). Presumably this is captured in a charter somewhere but is it actually happening?
