📢 Last Call for Learning: Sign up for the IFIL Conferences in Kenya & Uganda

The IFIL pilot project may be coming to an early close, but there is still lots to learn and do. Join us at our final learning conferences in Kenya and Uganda as we bring together stakeholders, share insights, and explore how innovative finance can continue to transform smallholder farming in East Africa.

Theme: “Learning from Innovation: Transforming the Future of Agri-Financing”

As the Innovative Finance for Improved Livelihoods (IFIL) pilot project comes to a close, we invite you to join us for two final learning conferences in Nairobi and Kampala this September.

Over the past years, IFIL has supported many Farmer-Based Organizations (FBOs) in Kenya and Uganda with an integrated model of tailored financing and capacity building. Despite the project ending earlier than planned due to funding shifts, it has demonstrated how innovative finance can empower FBOs to become more resilient, creditworthy, and better equipped to serve smallholder farmers.

This is our moment to sum up what we've learned, and explore how these models can be sustained and scaled. We hope that you want to join us!
