As we celebrate #WorldFoodDay 2026, we asked our team across the region one question:
What needs to change to ensure everyone has access to enough safe and nutritious food?
Here’s what they had to say. 👇
Kilimo Trust and SACCOs have worked together to develop innovative, farmer-centred financial products that respond to the real needs of farmers and agribusinesses.
As part of the Power for Food Partnership, funded by the @IKEA Foundation through @SNVRwanda the financial products will strengthen access to finance, insurance, investment, and resilience for climate smart initiatives.
