About

The Agri-Business Facility for Africa (ABF) is a project of German Development Cooperation launched in 2020 and designed as a pan-African knowledge and advisory hub. ABF's interdisciplinary and international team of advisors is based in Germany, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, and South Africa.

Together with the GIZ project MOVE-ComCashew, ABF is implementing the Joint Action “Business Support Facility for Resilient Agricultural Value Chains” which is a combined effort of the EU Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA), Organisation of African Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) and German Government through the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Under this Joint Action, ABF aims to contribute to economic and climate change resilience of the cocoa, maize and livestock (cattle, sheep, goats) value chains and to food security, increased income, and employment in the 79 OACPS member states under Samoa agreement. ABF is mandated to cover activities in the cocoa, maize, cattle, sheep and goats value chains.

ABF promotes and advises based on tried-and-tested agribusiness trainings and tools in large scale – face-to-face, online as well as in blended learning formats. Its services help to foster the knowledge and, skills of rural micro, small and medium entrepreneurs (MSME) operating in agricultural value chains and to unfold their potential as suppliers, investors, and employers, and to manage risks. In addition, ABF train Master Trainers and establish networks for the exchange of best practices and South-South exchanges.

The Joint Action is jointly co-financed by the European Union under the Samoa agreement with OACPS and by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ.
