Brown University Case study: Government Services at One Acre Fund

Agriculture policy
This is a case study conducted by Alan Harlam and Barrett Hazeltine of Brown University to better understand the potential opportunities for One Acre Fund if they partnered with government services.
By Alan Harlam and Barrett Hazeltine

One Acre Fund faces a choice between redoubling its investment in its core program and moving aggressively into government services. Another option is creating a hybrid of some sort—operating its core program in some countries, government service in others, or even both models in the same country. Government services offer a compelling potential way to reach this vast need quickly. One Acre Fund has explored several of these implementation partnerships on a trial basis, but not enough to have confidence in the impact numbers. This case study provided in-depth research into the possibilities of the partnership opportunities.
