This report describes a new methodology called GAIN (Governance, Autonomy, Integration, Needs based) developed by FAO staff from the Social and Economic Development Department under the direction of Aziz Elbehri, Senior Economist. The main objective of this methodology is to provide an effective assessment tool for initiating endogenous structural changes within a producer organization. Using a participatory and iterative approach, GAIN combines an internal assessment of the organization with an analysis of its immediate environment in order to initiate a gradual process of economic self-empowerment.
