Grow Africa: Support Farmers’ Engagement
Grow Africa, a partnership agreement co-convened by the African Union Commission, NEPAD Agency and World Economic Forum (WEF) has supported since 2011 the implementation of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) to accelerate responsible investment into agriculture. SDC’s contribution will be targeted to increasing smallholders’ integration into commercial value chains of staple crops for domestic and regional markets to contribute to poverty eradication and improved food security.
