In the OIC Member Countries
3
 Develop Core Resource Group. Strengthen in-country personnel who can contribute
to capacity building initiatives and undertake food loss prevention initiatives.
 Build Capacity of Stakeholders. Address gaps in the technical and managerial capacity
of extension workers, farmers, fishers, and food supply chain workers.
 Develop Projects for Key Value Chains. Provide funding for key actions, technology
packages and projects on reducing losses in OIC Member Countries.
 Provide Competitive Funds . Implement a cycle where countries can apply for specific
research and development projects to reduce on-farm.
Recommendations are intended to be practical, applicable, concrete, open to collaborative
efforts and capable of being implemented on a small, medium or large scale to match currently
available resources. Key to efforts to reduce on-farm losses is capacity building at all levels, and
informing policy makers on the benefit of reducing on-farm losses.
