An initiative of
The Smallholder Finance Facility (SFF) offers support for investments in crucial value chains, co-financing smallholder farmers – together with supply chain actors – in order to improve their productivity and thus livelihoods. The Facility aims to invest up to $50 million into upstream supply chain projects over the coming 5 years, by providing a combination of technical assistance, conditional grants and debt instruments.
SFF supports the idea that the best way to improve smallholder farmer livelihoods and create meaningful impact is to improve farms productivity and profitability through:
- Good agricultural practices (GAP)
- Access to quality inputs (fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, etc.)
- The rehabilitation and/or replanting of crops
- Providing the needed finance to implement these activities.
