Expert Talk: Access to Finance for Agribusiness Transformation in Africa

On 25 November 2025 from 11:00–13:00 GMT, an Expert Talk will bring together leaders from across Africa’s agricultural and financial sectors to explore how innovative financing can drive inclusive, sustainable growth in agribusiness.

The discussion forms part of efforts to implement the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Plan (CAADP) Kampala Action Plan (2026–2035) – a forward-looking framework that places agribusiness financing at the heart of Africa’s agrifood system transformation.

Empowering agribusinesses to thrive
Across the continent, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a pivotal role in food production, processing and distribution, yet many face persistent barriers to accessing finance. This event aims to equip agri-MSMEs with the knowledge, tools and connections needed to navigate complex financial ecosystems.
Through expert-led discussions and real-life success stories, the session will demystify financial access, highlight effective financing pathways and showcase how tailored solutions can strengthen business resilience and impact.

A bridge between policy and practice
Speakers will include technical and policy experts alongside agribusiness representatives, ensuring that institutional perspectives are grounded in the lived experiences of business owners. The session will feature insights from IFAD (International Fund for Agricultural Development), Kampani, AUDA-NEPAD, Africatalyst, and Agro Beydaare, highlighting gender-responsive, youth-driven, and cooperative-based investment models that can unlock new opportunities for inclusive growth.
The webinar offers a platform for knowledge exchange and meaningful engagement between agribusinesses and financial service providers, creating a shared understanding of how to build financial systems that are both accessible and sustainable.
