Leveraging partnerships in Benin
In Benin, our work is embedded in an extensive network. In the agribusiness domain, we’ve collaborated with various impactful projects and programs. These include DEFIA funded by Enabel, ProAgri funded by GIZ, and ACMA funded by FDC. We strengthen agribusiness clusters and drive sustainable growth in local communities. We train agribusiness trainers and equip cluster coaches with the skills to guide fruitful partnerships.
Our goal in the agri-education sector is to ensure that learners gain practical skills that make them employable. We’ve partnered with agricultural technical colleges and universities to revise curricula. We also support educators design and deliver more practical sessions. Together we are preparing the next generation of agri-food professionals to meet the needs of the evolving agricultural sector.
Our Beninese partners
Our partners in Benin include Christophe Kinha and his organisation RAD-ONG. Christophe is one of iCRA’s 2006 alumni and our long-standing partner. We have trained over 140 agri-food professionals from Benin in our open entry courses and many more through our projects.
