Training ACMA staff to facilitate public-private partnerships

Strengthening Agribusiness and Coaching Skills in Benin

Our project with the IFDC focuses on enhancing the agribusiness and coaching skills of the ACMA3 program’s technical staff in Benin. The primary goal is to prepare the team to facilitate sustainable income growth and job creation through agribusiness development.

Innovative training with a participatory approach

We have designed a comprehensive needs assessment and capacity-building plan. This initiative includes workshops, focus groups, and individual interviews to identify and prioritize the specific training needs in agribusiness and coaching techniques. The program emphasizes a participatory approach, engaging stakeholders actively in the process. Our training sessions incorporate practical tools and methodologies, ensuring that the ACMA3 technical staff can effectively support and mentor local farmers and entrepreneurs.

Supporting agribusinesses through partnerships

This program improves the capabilities of the ACMA3 technical team, enabling them to deliver high-quality support in agribusiness and coaching. As a result, local farmers and agri-entrepreneurs are better equipped to enhance their productivity and market access, leading to increased incomes and job opportunities. The project’s holistic approach includes a strong focus on gender equality and the inclusion of marginalized groups, ensuring broad benefits for all community members. By fostering long-term partnerships and enhancing local capacities, we aim to drive sustainable agricultural development and economic growth in Benin.
