Participatory Market Systems Development or PMSD is Practical Action’s approach to inclusive market development. PMSD is based on three basic principles: participation, systems thinking and facilitation.

PMSD

PMSDFacilitating market systems development for sustainable impacts that matter to the poor:Markets are complex systems of human relationships and rules in very challenging contexts. Markets in different sectors like agriculture, energy, health, sanitation, etc. can be a powerful “tool” to give marginalised actors in developing countries, and those who provide services to them, access to valuable networks, technologies, experiences and assets that can help them work their way out of poverty.

However, markets can be plagued with inefficiency & inequality between different groups of people, especially in contexts where poverty is acute. This can be caused by a number of things, for example lack of access to critical information like prices, misunderstandings and conflicts between market actors, regressive policies and poor infrastructure.

Over the last decade, market practitioners working for Practical Action across South Asia, Eastern and Southern Africa, Latin America and the UK have developed, tested and improved a participatory and systemic approach to markets that reduces poverty sustainably and at scale - PMSD.

What is PMSD?

Participatory Market Systems Development (PMSD) is Practical Action’s approach to inclusive market development. PMSD is based on three basic principles: participation, systems thinking and facilitation. Through this approach, Practical Action’s project teamshave been facilitating a process that allows marginalised actors in low-income countries to gain access to more functional markets, to sell their products and services and increase their income.

PMSD has been developed and improved in the last decade by Practical Action’s teams in Latin America, Africa and South Asia. All this experience has been synthesized and structured under the PMSD Roadmap: a ten-step platform designed to provide field practitioners with basic concepts and techniques to enable a broad range of private and public actors to make their market systems more inclusive, productive and efficient. After the course, the participants will have acquired a good understanding of the PMSD approach and the PMSD Roadmap to continue their learning process and train their teams and partners.

Some feedbacks from previous learning:Create understanding of PMSD as an innovative approach for changing the systems and structures that keep people poor:

Practical Action Consulting (PAC) brings you a four-day training course on our specific approaches and tools for Market development. At the end of the training, the participants will be able to:

• Understand the structure of the entire market system, roles and functions of all actors

• Design/implement projects that give marginalised actors a wider view of the markets and build their capacity to engage with others

• Use participatory market mapping tools to develop action plans between different market actors

• Analyse the structure and dynamics of market systems• Explain the features of the PMSD Roadmap and how to use it

for self-learning and for training field teams and partners• Build dialogue and trust that help market actors to

collaborate around their own joint visions, objectives and action plans

• Facilitate participatory market mapping workshop to develop action plans

• Build understanding about market systems.• Provide concrete examples of the PMSD process and

effects.• Create motivation or adopting PMSD principles

methods and tools.• Design intervention to project and programme

design.
