As the Africa Food Trade and Resilience Programme is still in design phase, it is not possible to say yet which companies will receive support. Companies will be selected following detailed market analysis and based on: their impact on local food security; number of women and men farmers in their supply chain; commitment to sustainable, inclusive and gender-sensitive business models; and willingness to contribute their own funds to programme activities.
