Pathways to Prosperity Pathways to Prosperity upscales the uptake of sustainable and inclusive production and trade practices across 16 countries and priority sectors worldwide. Connecting producers, service providers, financial institutions, buyers and governments, Solidaridad:
1. supports producers of key global commodities and local food crops to gain essential knowledge and entrepreneurial skills
2. creates fair and inclusive access to services and technology to improve production and trade
3. supports producers' access to inclusive finance, and:
4. connects producers to markets. Our Overall Goal is:
Producers and workers thrive by participating in supply chains that are economically profitable, socially responsible and environmentally sound.

The strategic objective of Pathways to Prosperity Programme is:

Contributing to the transformation of priority global and local supply chains by addressing systemic issues in an inclusive way in order to enable producers, MSME service providers and workers to thrive and generate more decent green jobs and thus reduce poverty and inequality.

In our Theory of Change we aim to contribute to the following 4 systemic outcomes in selected sectors and countries:
1. Viable and Resilient Production, in which capacitated producers have the knowledge and skills to grow and diversify production and businesses, in a climate-smart manner, offering more decent jobs to their workers (including rural youth, men and women);
2. Inclusive Service Delivery that ensure sustainable access to relevant technology, inputs, products and services,
tailored to the needs of farmers, miners, processors and agri-entrepreneurs);
3. Inclusive Finance that provide efficient, accessible and tailor-made financial services to producers and MSME service providers, with reduced risk;
4. Inclusive Market Connection, in which market actors adopt (and mainstream) inclusive trade, sourcing and pricing,
and reward policies and practices. Producers in the primary sector: self-employed farmers, rural entrepreneurs (men, women, youth), and
family businesses engaged in palm oil, cocoa, coffee, tea, cotton, and miners in gold

Producers in the secondary (industrial) sector: factories or tanneries focusing on textiles and leather, as
well as agri-processors (mills, factories).
Climate Smart Beef in Dry Chaco Paraguay To reduce the pressure on forests in the Dry Chaco ecosystem of Paraguay, we scaled up the implementation of Climate Smart Beef Practices (CSPBs) to more than 206,000 hectares. 93,278 hectares are currently set aside as protected forests.

Acting Now for Food Security and Resilient Food Systems - Kenya This programme is implemented to respond to the current food crisis in Kenya. The programme supports smallholders to increase the production and quality of fruits and vegetables, cereals, pulses and goat herding and so increase their incomes, reduce production costs and improve market access. This is done by supporting smallholders on timely planting, field management, harvesting and post harvest management technologies directly, via lead partners and by capacitated agricultural extension officers. We contribute to better service delivery by working with service providers improving their farm and storage services and offering alternative local low cost farm inputs. The Gender Action Learning System (GALS) methodology is used to engage men and boys in the promotion of women’s economic empowerment and addressing unequal gender norms and roles.
Southern Africa Towards Soy Bean Import Substitution The soy project is implemented in Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia. Across the implementing countries the scale up of the project is evident and 53,326 producers were able to improve their income position. 
Access to agricultural technical support was disrupted due to Covid-19. We had to maximize the use of technology and increase the number of training sessions online. The project has empowered lead farmers in selected soy clusters with bicycles and cell phones to enhance the extension delivery system to farmers in their respective clusters. 
By 2021, 57,680 farmers were trained in good agricultural practices. We also provided training such as post-harvest loss training, finance literacy and business management, as well as support to get their business recognized by the commerce industry. The program had a series of interventions aiming at supporting and empowering 2,805 women and youth, linked to the activities and training on good agricultural practice, finance, leadership and good governance.
Improving access to tech&fin services in mining sector in Ghana In Ghana, we strengthened local service delivery models to bring to scale responsible practices in the Artisanal Small Scale gold sector. By the end of 2021, we supported 11 service providers that together reached 6,711 ASM-miners. Key services include mercury-free processing technologies, mine planning and mechanization, health and safety management, fuel optimization, mine reclamation and revegetation, and gold exploration and reserve estimation. Several of these services directly contribute to improving the working conditions of the 8,484 miners that work in these mines. Production levels are still low due to the ban imposed on small-scale mining in 2017-2019, followed by the Covid-19 economic downturn, which has affected the mines’ readiness to pay for services and their engagement in the project. In 2022, we will support the established service providers to reach more mines and have sensitization activities with the miners.

Pathways to Prosperity - Mesoamerica The Mesoamerican mixed forest bio-region is a climate-vulnerability hotspot. Climate-smart farming practices such as cultivating plant variaties that can withstand the new climatic conditions, planting shade trees, the responsible use of pesticides, and good land and water management can significantly enhance farmers' resilience in this region. This contributes to raising productivity, while allowing for carbon sequestration, which forms an interesting source of income for smallholder farmers. In this programme, smallholder farmers across the Mesoamerican region will be supported to adopt climate-smart farming practices such as agro-forestry and so increase their resilience to climate change effects. We will mobilise local service providers to give the farmers the support they need and access to the necessary inputs and materials over the long term. With partners, we will develop incentives that promote the further adoption of climate-smart practices at scale.
