FrançaisThe Project aims to work through two lead firms (LFs) in the agribusiness sector that see the opportunities to promote climate smart agriculture in project areas. The LF approach involves working directly with identified companies to strengthen their supply chain, ability to provide products and services in markets with high demand, and improve their organizational capacity. Interventions should also result in viable business models in terms of adoption of climate resilient farming practices, climate change risk management capacity of the private sector (including farming communities); market linkages established at input and output levels.
