ISSED’s advocacy work rests on a simple asymmetry: the households most affected by agricultural policy are rarely in the room when it is decided.
The organisation carries farmer priorities into dialogue with government ministries, district structures and development partners — grounded in evidence from its own field monitoring rather than in general argument.
