Under the FAO Multi-Partner Programme Support Mechanism (FMM) project on Inclusive Value Chain Development in Africa, FAO partnered with the African Rural and Agricultural Credit Association (AFRACA) to organize and deliver a training on agricultural value chain finance. The one-week English/French training took place in Lomé, Togo, in October 2017 with the participation of financial service providers and small and medium agribusiness entrepreneurs from 12 countries, namely: Benin, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, DRC, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Rwanda, Togo, Uganda and Zambia. Participants had the opportunity to learn about agriculture and agribusiness financing, discuss case studies, network with other value chain stakeholders and share their own experiences. More information on value chain financing can be found in the Rural Finance and Investment Learning Centre and on AFRACA website.
