Supporting the European Union’s Analytical and Decision-Making Capacity on Agricultural Investments - GCP/GLO/948/EC
Although agriculture provides the main source of income for around half a billion smallholders in the world, farmers and small rural enterprises face challenges in attracting the necessary capital, particularly from local financial institutions, to improve their productivity, livelihoods and supply chain participation.In 2017, as part of their strategic dialogue, FAO and the European Union decided to expand their collaboration in the area of investment support, with a view to enabling greater private investment in sustainable agrifood systems that might have a strong development impact. In this context, the present AgrIntel project was designed in 2018 with the overarching objective of supporting the European Union’s analytical and decision-making capacity on agricultural investments, including value chain analysis and investment support services.The project had three main goals, namely (i) to support the INTPA in making informed decisions regarding the European Union’s specific investment operations in agricultural value chains, in particular concerning economic, social and environmental sustainability, (ii)to contribute to the overall generation of knowledge and dialogueon agrifood value chains in countries of interest to INTPA, and(iii)to provide demand-driven investment support services to improvethe dissemination of value chain and investment analysis amongkey value chain stakeholders. To achieve these goals, the project wasstructured around three main areas: blended finance advisory services,food systems assessments (FSAs) and the Global Sustainable CocoaInitiative (SCI).
