Funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, the Liechtenstein Development Service, and the Luxembourg Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs, SSNUP works as a facility to co-finance technical assistance projects led by impact investors active in the field. ADA is responsible for coordinating the programme and managing its knowledge management component.
Call for projects by impact investors active in Africa, Asia and Latin America
This is the 3rd edition with a focus topic of “food security and improved nutrition”. The SSNUP programme offers funding for technical assistance (TA) projects from impact investors (asset managers) active in strengthening the agricultural sector in Africa, Asia and Latin America and who are not permanent partners of the SSNUP programme.
To be eligible for SSNUP co-funding through this call for projects, while aiming at strengthening the resilience of smallholder households and agricultural value chains, TA projects must focus and contribute positively to Food Security and Improved Nutrition which is one of the four priority topics of SSNUP phase II.
A maximum of two individual TA projects per investor can be selected. The organisations (investees or potential investees), benefiting from SSNUP funding can be agri-SMEs, farmer cooperatives/organisations or financial intermediaries. A maximum of two organisations can be included in each TA project.
The maximum SSNUP contribution amounts to EUR 50,000 per project.
