The Agricultural and Rural Finance (FAR)
The Agricultural and Rural Finance (FAR, derived from the French name Finance agricole et rurale) training programme is organised jointly by ADA, the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Defense, Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade (MAEE) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO).
This training programme aims to create a unique platform where participants can gain and exchange knowledge of financing Africa's agricultural and rural sectors. Expert speakers will share concrete activities and results, providing an opportunity to identify best practices.
The programme targets managers of financial institutions and other actors in inclusive finance operating in Africa who wish to develop financial products and services tailored to the agricultural sector's needs (public authorities, FinTech, insurance companies, investment funds, etc.).
This annual training course is available in French and English. It is organised in two phases: an introductory e-learning session over four weeks and an in-depth one-week in-person session for the most committed and diligent participants of the online session.
