Creating jobs
The model consists of various steps, such as improving access to finance, know-how, and investability of SMEs. This will enhance their resiliency, independence, and ability to build and strengthen local food systems, increase intra-Africa trade, and create a significant number of jobs that cater to the needs of people in Africa
We have witnessed the transformation of local SMEs, and the farmers they source from, into competitive businesses that meet global standards, attract competitive prices for their products, and create sustainable jobs, particularly for women and youth.
