Minister-president Jambon has released 6 million euros for a Call for Proposals to enhance access to markets for smallholder farmers in Malawi. The Government of Flanders has a long-standing relationship with the Government of Malawi.
Flanders will contribute to the transformation of the agricultural sector of Malawi, as stipulated in the National Agriculture Policy (NAP) and National Agriculture Investment Plan (NAIP). The Country Strategy Paper 2019-2023 (CSP) aims at enabling smallholder farmers to participate in inclusive markets and achieve better income statuses as well as better, resilient livelihoods.
This Call for Proposals is targeting non-state actors to complement the Government of Malawi and other partners’ efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector in Malawi. The call fits within the general objective of the CSP namely ‘to contribute to the transformation of the agricultural sector in Malawi with special attention for women and youth, to increase, diversify and commercialise their production’.
Therefore, this CfP is looking for organisations that support farmer cooperatives and SMEs in farming (agribusiness) in the districts of Kasungu and Mzimba, to get better access to markets.
