This report provides a look back at six transformative years of PARM’s impact in advancing agricultural risk management (ARM).

Operating during unprecedented global challenges, marked by pandemics, conflicts, and climate shocks that underscored the urgency of proactive risk management, PARM Horizon 2 reaffirmed its commitments to de-risk agricultural value chains and leverage investments from public and private actors.

Under Horizon 2, PARM strengthened its analytical capacity, developed tailored toolkits and rigorous methodologies, and deepened partnerships at national, regional, and global levels. At country and regional levels, key milestones included the assessment of 10 agricultural value chains to support de-risking investments, with more than 30 agricultural risk management (ARM) solutions identified. PARM designed nine ARM projects across Burkina Faso, Burundi, Ethiopia, Ghana, Madagascar, Niger, Senegal, Tunisia, and at the regional level in West Africa, engaging over 750 national stakeholders throughout the process. In parallel, PARM developed 10 ARM training curricula, implemented in Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Tunisia, Uganda, and at the value-chain level.

At the global level, PARM trained over 13,000 actors in ARM through direct and indirect initiatives, including more than 500 private-sector stakeholders and over 3,000 women reached through knowledge-sharing and learning events.

These achievements represent only a fraction of PARM’s impact, guided by a long-term vision to transform agricultural risk into opportunity. As PARM closes this chapter, it paves the way for an ambitious and impact-driven Horizon 3 aiming to create stable and bankable agricultural environments, structured private-sector partnerships, regional approaches, and the use of digital tools and artificial intelligence to accelerate delivery.
