ACELI
ACELI
Africa is a market-led platform to catalyse finance for
credit-constrained East African agricultural businesses that offer
potential for income and job creation. Special incentives are provided
for investments promoting food security, nutrition, climate-smart
production, as well as for those with a gender and youth inclusive
approach.
African Risk Capacity
The
African Risk Capacity (ARC) is an early disaster response and risk
transfer system of the African Union to enhance the resilience of
vulnerable people against drought, tropical cyclone, flood and mortal
viruses through country-level insurance.
CROPS4HD – Consumption of Resilient Orphan Crops & Products for Healthier Diets
CROPS4HD seeks to improve food security and nutrition of smallholder farmers, especially women, through sustainable use and conservation of farmers’ varieties/landraces, neglected and underutilized species respecting agroecological approaches.
Nutrition in City Ecosystems (NICE)
NICE
aims to improve nutrition and health, and to reduce poverty by
increasing the demand and supply of diverse, agroecologically produced
foods. Implemented by a Swiss public private consortium, NICE focuses on
women, youth and vulnerable populations. City governments in two
secondary cities each in Bangladesh, Kenya and Rwanda will be supported,
and learning between cities will be facilitated to contribute to the
global discourse on sustainable food systems.
RUNRES
RUNRES seeks to improve the resilience and sustainability of food systems in four different rural-urban regions across Africa. It encourages nutrient & waste recycling by installing and redirecting the by-products of innovative, ecological, hygienically safe sanitation solutions. The organic matter may then serve as an input for smallholder producers to generate a circular flow of nutrients in agriculture, thereby reinvigorating regional food systems and improving livelihoods of growing populations.
SSNUP – Smallholder Safety Net Upscaling Programme
SSNUP
is a multi-donor public private partnership to support small and medium
agribusiness enterprises, farmer organisations and financial
intermediaries in providing effective services to their smallholder
farmer customers and members, thereby reducing their farm and livelihood
risks.
Systems Comparison
This long-term system comparison led by the Swiss Research Institute for Organic Agriculture provides scientific evidence on the productivity, profitability and environmental impacts of organic agriculture compared to conventional agriculture in four production systems of the tropics.
