The INNOVATE Final Synthesis Report, produced with support from MarketShare Associates, brings together key results, insights and lessons from the research conducted by MEDA INNOVATE and its partners from 2017-2020, with the goal of learning and documenting experiences of non-traditional finance for catalyzing smallholder agricultural innovation adoption.

The report is framed around INNOVATE’s four learning themes – customer centricity, smallholder products and services, smallholder household decision-making, and policy and regulatory transformation – and shares key takeaways and supporting evidence from a global research portfolio of 10 pilot projects and case studies. The report concludes with potential opportunities for further learning, research and action by different actors in the smallholder finance landscape and ecosystem.
