Session 4.1: Actor roles in implementing change.

Group work:

Assumption: A large number of poor small holders want to plant high valuable fruit trees, timber trees and fodder trees/shrubs on their private farm land, and consequently there is a big demand for seed of these species.

Task:Describe the optimal tree seed system (input chain) for each of the 3 species types, by defining the 1-2 major roles for each major actor in the system. Please consider possible source of funding and flow, if financial inputs are required to make the tree seed system function in short - as well as long term. Keywords: Seed sources, seed procurement, seed distribution/sale, input needs, NTSC, NGOs, small seed dealers, NARS

Reporting:Please fill in 1-2 major roles for each of the 4 major actors. Please also allocate financial inputs, if required. Use flipover.
