Title
Lasting Roots: Naatal Mbay and the Integrated Finance Model in Senegal
Abstract
This report addresses the well-recognized evidence gap1 on the longer-term impacts created by marketdriven programming; specifically, programming influenced by market systems development (MSD)
principles. It does so by presenting the findings of an ex-post study conducted three and a half years
after the close of USAID’s Feed the Future Senegal Naatal Mbay Activity (hereafter Naatal Mbay) in
2019. It examines the scale and sustainability of changes resulting from Naatal Mbay’s
introduction of an integrated finance model (IFM) – described in Error! Reference source not
found. below – in the domestic rice sector. This study is one in a series of ex-post evaluations that are
being conducted between 2023-2026 on USAID-funded MSD interventions around the world.
This study focused on four questions, noted below in Figure 1. These were addressed using a mix of
desk research, 122 key informant interviews with market actors and other stakeholders remotely and in
Senegal, focus group discussions with 26 rice producers networks in Senegal, and a validation workshop
with USAID/Senegal, implementing partner staff and market actors. Findings were analyzed leveraging
the Disrupting System Dynamics (DSD) framework (see Figure 4 in the body of the report) as an
analytical tool for understanding systems change.
