We developed this tool for government authorities, enterprises, NGOs, rural development programmes, research institutions and others to use as means to empower small-scale producers and traders. The tool describes how to organize a workshop, as a real forum for people involved in market chains to share and to improve their knowledge of the market and of market policies, to voice their problems and expectations, and to contribute to government policies and their implementation.
