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.
SSNUP impact investors provide their agribusiness partners in developing countries with technical assistance to comply with this new regulation. They shared their experience at an online workshop on 29 June 2024.
The project helped three cooperatives in Ghana, Togo, and Côte d’Ivoire to renew and obtain sustainability certifications, implement a new digital management system and perform polygon mapping of the farmers’ plots.
The SSNUP programme will now collaborate with Clarmondial (Switzerland), Goodwell Investments (Netherlands), HEKS-EPER (Switzerland), Sinergi (Burkina Faso) and Zira Capital (Mali) and co-fund the selected projects.
