Who We Serve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Agribusiness<\/strong> \u2013 In Africa, agricultural value chains consist of multiple agribusinesses that often lack current and accurate data on which to base critical business decisions, leading to missed opportunities, inefficiencies and waste. SAFIC supports SME\u2019s and mid-size companies with current market insights and business advise to enable them chart their growth with confidence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Young Agripreneurs<\/strong> \u2013 The future of our continent \u2013 and in particular the future of food and agriculture \u2013 is dependent on engaging entrepreneurial young men and women in the business opportunities that lie within viable value chains. SAFIC, together with its partners, spearheads training, coaching and mentoring of young agripreneurs to enable them develop the strategic thinking, action plans and critical business skills that they can leverage to thrive.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Cooperatives <\/strong>\u2013 Effective farmer cooperatives, producer groups and trade associations are the foundation on which broad-based agricultural transformation is built. SAFIC builds on Strathmore Business Schools long history of training in effective institutional building to train leaders and their management teams on how to thrive within the complex economic, social, political and environmental ecosystems in which they operate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Government departments<\/strong> \u2013 SAFIC is positioned as a service center to support national and regional Government in their transformation agenda. By conducting timely data analysis and providing pragmatic insights, SAFIC supports Government data-driven decision and policy making.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Development Partners<\/strong> \u2013 Impactful development programs and projects are anchored on interventions built on factual insights. SAFIC supports development partner programs in their data collection and analysis needs, and in providing market insights, business advisory and project design. SAFIC also provides monitoring, evaluation and learning support.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":38148,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[143],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research-centres"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAgri-Food Innovation Center -
