Multinational - Support to Seed companies - AGRA's program for Africa's seed systems-FAPA Grant

The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA)'s program for Africa's seed systems is a Technical Assistance (TA) package in support of fledgling African seed companies. The project will build the capacity of at least 54 seed companies in eleven countries, namely: Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Rwanda, Mozambique, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Niger, Liberia and Uganda. It will then enable them to produce high quality staple crop seeds for African rural farmers. The project will assist in developing the ability of young, private, African seed companies to manage their business growth and provide improved seeds to small-scale farmers on a sustainable basis. This technical assistance project will help the seed companies increase their production of quality seeds for rural farmers.
