The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) carried out case studies with SSNUP beneficiary organisations to test a tool developed with Cerise for measuring compliance with the Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems.
A SSNUP-coordinated perception survey of project beneficiaries showed that cooperatives gained improved access to financing from the microfinance institution Chamroeun while the farmers enjoyed better crop yields thanks to better inputs and training.
The project by responsAbility expanded Arya.ag’s storage, financing and market access services to more farmers and their cooperatives via dedicated trainers and a digital platform.
The SSNUP programme co-financed a project by impact investor Oikocredit that supported the microinsurance broker Inclusive Guarantee in distributing agricultural index insurance products to smallholder farmers in Senegal. SSNUP commissioned an in-depth survey to follow up the project based on interviews with smallholder farmers and other project stakeholders to gain a better understanding of the results and the impact.
