The enabling environment will be strengthened through a free-market approach to optimize the space for and capacity of targeted groups to compete, especially with larger private-sector players. The programme that is funded by Dutch Government, will be implemented by Oxfam partners in OPT and SOMO, and will adapt a multi-dimensional approach to enable change at micro, meso, and macro levels (local, regional, and national). Transparency and accountability mechanisms will be strengthened to ensure civil society actors are able to claim more responsive and equitable systems regulations. Grassroots, women and youth organizations, small-scale producers, and other national bodies will be supported to establish coalitions to demand national and local governments adopt inclusive and responsive policies. This will enhance the overall business environment, especially for youth entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector. Partners and key stakeholders will provide oversight of publicand private-sector duty bearers and monitor their adherence to governance principles and commitments.
