1. How does the network benefit your organisation?
After initial fruitful cooperation in organising an international conference on stimulating sustainable business in Eastern Africa, the involvement of MSM in APF has been minimal. The main reason for this is that MSM has been concentrating on Tanzania, whilst APF focused on other countries.

2. Please give an example of a joint action, in which the APF network played a visible role.
APF has been instrumental in the organisation of an international conference, thought its promotion, seeking the right keynote speakers, and sharpening the issues.

3. If you were in charge, what should the APF network look like in 5 years’ time?
The network in the Netherlands brings together all key stakeholders actively contributing to improved food security and agribusiness. We would have more workshops organised in the APF countries of a more international character, which would therefore be more interesting to other countries as well.

4. How will your organisation contribute to the APF network in the next 2 years?
MSM increasingly has research operations in Ethiopia and Rwanda, two of APF focus countries. MSM could contribute to the knowledge base of agricultural entrepreneurship in these countries, and research programmes of APF members.
