FoodTrade Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) Programme is by the UK Government and managed by Development Alternatives Incorporated.
The programme prioritizes trade enhancement and promotion by focusing on staple crops.
FoodTrade East and Southern Africa recognizes the transformative potential of agriculture and trade to improve the lives and incomes of thousands of small scale farmers, as well as strengthen food security in the region.
The programme works with private sector and relevant institutions to improve storage, inputs and service markets, information and coordination mechanisms and policy and regulation with the aim to get more people trading in regional staple food markets.
The Challenge Fund aims at stimulating innovative business models that deliver commercial benefits, solutions to market failures in regional food staple markets as well as jobs, income and market access for the poor and smallholder farmers.
FoodTrade ESA envisions unlocking trade across borders and across the region to get more food to more people.
Grants will make up funding of up to 49% of the approved investments that companies make within the geographical scope of the programme. Investments are selected through competitive calls for business proposals (challenge fund windows).
