    The overall aim of the workshop was to; 1) gain insight from multiple stakeholders about the barriers and opportunities for agribusiness SMEs’ participation in agrifood systems policymaking in NENA; 2) identify priorities for capacity development for agribusiness SMEs, and surrounding institutional and legal frameworks to be more sustainable, inclusive and competitive; 3) share best practices for building effective partnerships and coordination mechanisms among stakeholders at national and regional levels. Engaging regional actors and reflecting the views from countries helped ensure that the plan and interventions emanating from the workshop are action and impact-oriented and respond to the challenges and needs of the countries of the region. The technical workshop was held in Cairo, Egypt from 31 October to 2 November 2022 and welcomed over 75 people from 16 countries, representing ministries of agriculture and industry, private sector, as well as International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and partner organizations (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, World Bank, International Committee of the Red Cross, International Food Policy Research Institute, United Nations Industrial Development Organization).

    Guide for the design and implementation of public–private partnerships for agribusiness development in Africa 2024
    Also available in:

    Unleashing the potential for inclusive agricultural growth and transformation in Africa requires coordinated and strategic public and private investment in the agriculture sector. Against a background of limited government resources and expertise, public–private partnerships are increasingly being promoted as a mechanism to pool resources, reduce risk, improve productivity and drive growth in the agriculture and food sectors. In line with this trend, many African countries have recently expressed an interest in further understanding the potential for public–private partnerships for agribusiness development (agri-PPPs) to deliver on these transformative goals. This publication aims to provide guidance to African policymakers and potential private sector investors on the core principles of designing and implementing agri-PPPs that will promote the transformation of Africa’s agriculture sector in an inclusive and sustainable way. This area of work is of particular interest to the African Union Commission (AUC) which has highlighted agri-PPPs as a key tool in the delivery of the results under the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) and the Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth for Shared Prosperity and Livelihoods.

    Matching grant programmes: An effective approach to channel remittances into sustainable investment in agribusiness?
    FSN Forum report of activity, No. 177
    2023
    This document summarizes the online consultation “Matching grant programmes: An effective approach to channel remittances into sustainable investment in agribusiness?” held on the FAO Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum) from 18 February to 15 May 2022. This consultation was organized in the context of FAO’s work on supporting countries in developing evidence-based policies and programmes to support migrants and returnees, and their families, in investing remittances in agribusiness – one example being the pilot project “Promoting Inclusive Economic Growth through Matching Grants”, conducted by ESA in Tajikistan. The consultation’s aim was to help further refine the design of such policies and programmes by gathering input from a wide range of stakeholders on the potential of matching grant programmes (MGPs) to stimulate the investment of remittances in the agricultural sector.
