Call for Concept Notes: Funding for the cocoa, maize, cattle, sheep and goat value chains

• Are you working in the cocoa, maize, or livestock (cattle, sheep, goats) sectors in a member state of the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS)?
• Are you from the private sector, with a high interest in resilience, competitiveness, or direct supply linkages with off-takers for sustainability?
• Do you have an innovative idea that makes the above-mentioned value chains less fragmented, more inclusive, particularly for women and youth, sustainable, and profitable? This also includes innovations for by-products of the sectors.

Then this Matching Grant Fund for climate resilient value chains is a very good opportunity for you. The contribution channeled through GIZ will account for a maximum of 50% of the total project budget and can go up to 200.000 €.

 

The call is open from 18th September until 10th November 11:59 pm GMT.
