The SHARP partnership

We also developed the SHARP partnership and provided the global secretariat from 2013 to 2019.

This multi-stakeholder partnership brought together production and supply chain companies, civil society organisations, financial and academic institutions and governments that share an interest in supporting smallholders to sustainably produce commodity crops. The SHARP Partnership created a range of guidance for companies on responsible sourcing from smallholders, which continues to form the basis for smallholder engagement.
