Abstract

Ongoing evaluations of AgResults pilots have generated early insights on pull mechanism design, market impact, and development impact. The pilots in Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia and Uganda aim to incentivize the private sector to invest in creating sustainable, smallholder-oriented markets for beneficial agricultural technologies.

In this brief, we discuss initial lessons that we have learned from our ongoing evaluations of the pilots
