Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAgribusiness incubation and acceleration landscape in Africa
Role of agribusiness incubation in promoting agricultural entrepreneurship and enterprise development
2023Also available in:
No results found.This report aims at providing an overview of the agribusiness incubation and acceleration landscape in Africa. The study is a joint effort between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the African Union Commission (AUC) and the Agripreneurship Alliance. The study mapped and analysed over 430 enterprise support organizations (ESOs) from across the continent. The high-level analysis was complemented by deep dives of incubation programmes implemented by 16 ESOs. The key messages and findings from the study were shared with key stakeholders through five subregional webinars organized over the course of 2020–2021, gathering inputs from over 1 000 individuals representing enterprise support organizations, small and medium enterprises, entrepreneurs and policymakers. The findings and recommendations presented in this report provide practical guidance to policymakers, practitioners and development partners seeking to maximize the impact of agribusiness incubation programmes in Africa. -
Policy briefPolicy briefStronger together: How trade associations in tropical timber-producing countries multiply benefits for forest sector MSMEs
The experience of the FAO-EU FLEGT Programme
2021Also available in:
No results found.A wide body of experience within and beyond the forestry sector recognizes the power of associations in bringing together small-scale actors, especially micro, small and medium-scale enterprises (MSMEs). Associations offer increased economies of scale in purchasing, producing, and providing greater bargaining power. For this reason, support to forest sector associations has been at the heart of the FAO-EU FLEGT Programme’s engagement with the private sector, recognizing that achieving legality in the forest sector of tropical timber-producing countries is not possible without effective and meaningful collaboration with the private sector. Associations of companies provide critical entry points to gaining access to larger groups of enterprises. The arguments put forward in this paper draw upon the experience accrued in supporting associations of timber producers through the FAO-EU FLEGT Programme. As part of a Programme-experience capitalisation process, staff members conducted interviews with both service providers and, where possible, end beneficiaries of the projects. The Programme analyzed the impacts of these projects to determine best practices for supporting associations and the benefits they bring to MSMEs. -
