Driving Innovation and Sustainability in Agrifood Systems across Africa</h1></div> <div class="article-text">28/06/2024 - Africa</div> <div> <br /> </div> <div class="article-objectives"><p>In food security and agricultural development, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in supporting vulnerable populations. However, they often face significant challenges in accessing financial resources, with women-owned businesses particularly struggling to secure credit and liquidity, making them more vulnerable to market disruptions.</p> <p>Addressing the gender gap in agriculture is vital. FAO’s 2023 report on "<a href="https://openknowledge.fao.org/items/b8001649-2072-40d4-a6ef-37aff7f36420">The Status of Women in Agrifood Systems</a>" highlights that reducing disparities in farm productivity and wage employment could increase global GDP by 1% (nearly USD 1 trillion) and decrease global food insecurity by 2 percentage points, lifting approximately 45 million people out of food insecurity.</p> <p>Recognizing these challenges, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the <a href="https://agrifood.net/iafn/projects/accelerator-mentorship-programme-for-women-led-smes-in-africa/">International Agri-Food Network (IAFN)</a> have taken a proactive stance. On June 19, they celebrated the accomplishments of 41 women agri-food entrepreneurs from Africa who successfully completed the second edition of the Accelerator Mentorship Programme for Women-led SMEs in Africa. This initiative, a collaborative effort between FAO and IAFN, aims to empower women agri-food entrepreneurs by equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to thrive in a dynamic marketplace.</p> <p>The participants in this programme represented a diverse array of sectors within the agrifood value chain. Each entrepreneur was paired with a private sector mentor who is an established leader in successful businesses. This mentor-mentee relationship provided one-on-one coaching over a nine-month period, supplemented by a comprehensive series of online courses, tailored training sessions, and opportunities for networking and peer learning.</p> <p>During the closing ceremony of the Accelerator Mentorship Programme, both participants and mentors shared inspiring testimonials. Mentees highlighted the substantial benefits they gained from their mentors, specialized workshops, and courses offered by the FAO E-learning Academy. Mentors, in turn, expressed how they were invigorated by the enthusiasm, fresh ideas, and innovative approaches of their mentees.</p> <p>Building on the success of the first two editions of the programme, FAO and IAFN are committed to continuing this transformative initiative. The partners plan to launch the third iteration of the Accelerator Mentorship Programme in October 2024. This upcoming edition will span nine months, offering a new group of women entrepreneurs the opportunity to enhance their businesses and contribute positively to their communities.</p> <p>Read more: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.fao.org/connect-private-sector/womensacceleratorprogramme/en/">Profiles: Meet the mentees - participants in the second round of Women's SME Accelerator Programme for Africa </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.fao.org/3/cc5343en/online/status-women-agrifood-systems-2023/overview.html">Report: The Status of women in agrifood systems </a></li> </ul></div> <div class="embed-video display-"> <h2>Video</h2> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer;
