PARM is currently designing the next phase of its programme, PARM Horizon 3 (2026–2030), a bold new phase that builds on over a decade of experience in Agricultural Risk Management (ARM). As the Platform’s most ambitious chapter to date, Horizon 3 will deepen PARM’s mission to strengthen resilience, equality, and sustainability in food systems, while de-risking investments across public and private sectors.

Grounded in a holistic, climate-smart vision, PARM Horizon 3 will integrate nature-based approaches, alongside innovative financial and policy tools to tackle agricultural risks at scale. The programme is structured around three strategic pillars: (i) Pillar 1 will offer flexible, on-demand technical assistance to governments, donors and private sector partners—ensuring tailored, investment-ready ARM solutions; (2) Pillar 2 will support the institutionalization of ARM in priority countries through comprehensive roadmaps, capacity building, and financing strategies that de-risk agricultural investments and enable long-term resilience; and (iii) Pillar 3 will amplify global impact through innovation, advocacy, and multi-stakeholder coordination—embedding ARM in policy platforms, financing agendas, and development partnerships.

Designed with an inclusive lens, Horizon 3 will prioritize gender-transformative, socially responsive, and climate-resilient solutions, particularly in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. Through stronger partnerships with technical institutions, financial actors, and value chain stakeholders, PARM Horizon 3 will unlock scalable, nature-based and risk-informed tools that empower small-scale producers and build sustainable agricultural futures.
