Project Description

To achieve the overall goal the Project will work to increase access to finance for farmers, agri-businesses and agricultural value chains. By its completion, the Project will:
1. Enhance the agri-lending capacity of FIs with a focus on Ukraine, but
also expanding operations to the Western Balkans, Azerbaijan, Moldova, and possibly South-West Russia, using proven agri-lending methodologies and tools; and with agri-insurance by FIs to mitigate external, weather related risks.
2. Implement focused schemes
in PPP partnerships to design and launch agricultural insurance products designed particularly for FIs lending to the sector and needing instruments to improve their risk management.
3. Serve as a regional platform for knowledge management (product adaptation
and deployment and further development) resource for work with FIs in the ECA region to support opportunities for Agri SMEs lending and agri-insurance development.
