In 1954, shortly after MEDA’s founding in North America, MEDA initiated about a dozen business projects in Paraguay, including the Sarona Dairy. These projects played a significant role in the early years of Mennonite settlers in Paraguay and for the emerging settlements of aboriginal people. Thus, MEDA contributed decisively to the rise of a flourishing world of creative entrepreneurship of Mennonites in Paraguay.
It was in the footsteps of those MEDA-NA pioneers, that MEDA-Paraguay was founded in 1996, putting into operation several businesses initiatives, among them four production plants for tapioca starch (CODIPSA) and a cooperative (MORWEENA), thus contributing significantly to provide “business solutions to poverty.”
In addition to presenting the beginnings of MEDA-NA in Paraguay and the development of MEDA-PY, this seminar will address questions such as: How can business projects and economic activities be shaped in such a way that they are in harmony with the biblical concept of God’s shalom? How can Christian businesspeople take their cues for shaping their business from the church, and, if they can do so, how?

Chances are you are attending the MEDA convention because you care deeply about helping people in poverty and making the world a better place. MEDA people care about others. Sometimes because we are caring and humble people, we hesitate to think intentionally and strategically about the full impact we can have on our world at home and abroad.
Sometimes we fail to maximize the good that we could do in the world. Join Dave Warren for this stimulating and engaging session around mobilizing the various tools that you have at your fingertips to intentionally and strategically impact the world for a good and fulfill your individual purpose at the same time.
Whether it’s business ownership, family relationships, community and church involvement, philanthropy, or other avenues, our influence is far greater than we sometimes imagine. Thinking strategically about the influence that we have, and and the good that we could do, combined with our sense of unique purpose in our lives can be a powerful and fulfilling endeavor.
Along the way, you may gain a vision for creating greater purpose and connection in your family, and a greater sense of vision and purpose for your own future. Please consider joining us for this session.

Over the past few years, organizations have faced unprecedented changes at a dizzying rate. These changes include impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, growing calls to engage issues of social justice, skyrocketing inflation rates, the so-called Great and increasing impacts of artificial intelligence on businesses, to list just a few.
As organizations experience the impact of the whiplash resulting from these changes, they are called to build resilience. Many business experts encourage leaders to build resilient organizations that can absorb the shocks of change, adapt quickly, and ultimately thrive. While building resilience is important, very little has been discussed about the cost of resiliency: the wear and tear on the structures and people that is normalized in the process of building the resilience needed to navigate change successfully.
In this workshop we will discuss the cost of building organizational resilience, and the tools needed to care for people and structures in order to nurture an organizational culture that is not only resilient, but also healthy and thriving.

MEDA has had a long 70-year history of successfully delivering international economic development projects the provides business solutions to poverty. However, we also need to acknowledge that implementation of these projects is never straightforward. There may have been a risk taken that didn’t pan out, something that wasn’t anticipated or an assumption that was proven untrue. In other words, there have been times when we have experienced failure!
Failure is not to be seen as a negative. In fact, failure can be seen as part of the pathway to success if one can learn from it and make changes or new decisions accordingly. In this seminar, we will profile 4-5 examples of a MEDA “failure.” We will then discuss what we have learned from it and how we can use this learning to adapt our way forward.

MEDA is the only NGO that has been impact investing for as long as we have been implementing development programming in agriculture. We see the linkages between the two areas and are frustrated by the artificial barriers that exist between the largely donor-funded world of international development projects and the impact investing world seeking strong returns and impact. Much potential exists as the agriculture sector is a key driver of economic growth: it accounts for 20-30% of GDP, depending on the country. It is also a key employer: it employs 35-70% of the workforce.
Most agricultural development projects seek sustainable and inclusive growth for the sector and the smallholder farmers who participate in the projects, although that growth is often limited by a lack of access to capital. Many impact investment funds seek technical assistance support to help reduce the risk to their investments by helping small agribusinesses to improve their financial and technical skills. However, they often lack an understanding of the wider systemic challenges.
To further advance this approach, at MEDA we design investment interventions based in our deep understanding of the agri-food systems in which we work including identifying gaps and opportunities, power dynamics, market risks, community vulnerabilities, and adaptation strategies. This approach is unique and much needed as in our view, much impact investing is driven by enterprise-focused finance that fails to account for the systems within which enterprises operate. Ultimately, for this approach to be effective, it must be led by local stakeholders as we believe that to invest successfully in agri-food systems we need to understand and address the bottlenecks and weaknesses to channel finance to where it can do the greatest impact and create the most equitable and sustainable returns.
During the seminar, you will learn from MEDA, Everence, Mastercard Africa Growth Fund, and B12 Capital Partners about their models for impact investing and to what extent and how access to capital improves the ability of businesses to achieve impact while addressing systemic barriers. Some of the questions that will be addressed are:
