Who we are
The Agri-Business Facility for Africa (ABF) is a programme of German Development Cooperation launched in 2020 and designed as a pan-African knowledge and advisory hub. Our interdisciplinary and international team of advisors is based in Germany, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, and South Africa.
We support interested development programmes, African organisations, and companies to introduce, implement, and manage tried-and-tested agribusiness trainings in large scale. In addition, we advise on demand on digitalisation and sustainable anchorage of these trainings and develop innovative solutions for and with our partners. During COVID-19, we further improved our digital advisory portfolio and can now proudly call us “digital pioneers” in the agribusiness sector. Our services help to foster the knowledge, skills of rural micro, small and medium entrepreneurs (MSME) operating in African agro-food value chains and to unfold their potential as suppliers, investors, and employers, and to manage risks.
