5 agribusiness africa Most food produced by smallholder farmers processing and trade mostly by SME retail mostly open market and small shops supermarkets are setting new standards middle class sets new requirements
6 constraints for Farmers and Food SME's limited entrepreneurial knowledge sourcing from smallholders farmers is complex and requires trust value chain underdeveloped market is changing to branded and packaged products access to finance is very limited access to knowledge is limited infrastructure,public services not adequate innovation not in the mindset no ownership of land
7 Smallholder farmers
8 Starting points AAA Focus on entrepreneurship in Africa SMEs as pull factor and leverage for small farmer development and linking to market Enhanced SME activity leads to higher food security Build on best practices/business cases Business community takes the lead Partnering,networking and coaching Resource center for sharing knowledge, education and training
9 AA Academy - basic principles Entrepreneurship is key to development and food security Learning from own experience building a knowledge base sharing Netherlands African cooperation Private sector in the lead Trust in power of African entrepreneurs Impact on smallholders
10 Definition of a typical AAA member. Four target groups distinguish AAA membership. Exlcusive Membership; a selected group of SMEs with a proven record of successful entrepreneurship based on fair business practices. Inclusive outreach; SME agrifood community having an interest in the paid services of agrifood sector Young entrepreneurs; group of young entrepreneurs and start ups not yet having a track record Small holder farmers; impact on rural incomes and food security: the small holder producers that benefit from the market linkage provided by the SMEs.

Empowerment of entrepreneurs through coaching and mentoring
15 Community of Practice A CoP is a group of entrepreneurs ( SMEs) who share a common concern, a set of problems, or interest in a topic and who come together to fulfill both individual and group goals. The mission of a particular CoPdepends on the issues, process, or practice area around which it is organized and upon which it is focused. In general, however the mission includes the following purposes : stimulate interaction foster learning create new knowledge identify and share best practices
16 Why BC and CoP? Provide a forum for SMEs to share information and experiences in a way that builds understanding and insight. Enable dialogue between SMEs who come together to explore new possibilities, solve challenging problems, and create new, mutually beneficial opportunities. Stimulate learning by serving as a vehicle for communication, mentoring, coaching, and self-reflection. Capture and diffuse existing knowledge to help SMEs improve their practice by providing a forum to identify solutions to common problems and a process to collect and evaluate best practices. Introduces collaborative processes to SMEs to encourage the free flow of ideas and exchange of information.
17 Communities of Practice (CoP) Thematic and Sector CoPs are organised on a cross-country basis. Thematic CoPs : CoP Finance includes investment planning, investment plan peering, investor dialogue and financial management. CoP Entrepreneurship includes business intelligence, member business profiling, networking and skills training. CoP Partnerships for Productivity links innovators to members, strengthens sourcing for members, promote innovation funding, cross-border trade.
18 Communities of Practice contd Sector CoPs focus on specific SME sectors in the agrifood domain. These include Dairy Honey Seed Poultry Members within the same sector discuss issues pertaining their enterprises e.g sourcing of inputs,technology and access to markets.
19 Partnerships in Agribusiness Agribusiness enterprises in Africa range from micro village-based operations to large nationally recognized companies. Small- and medium-scale agribusiness and marketing enterprises in the informal and formal sectors employ an estimated 1.5 million people. The lack of a suitable and functional institutional framework has been one of the major impediments for both domestic and foreign investment. In agriculture and agribusiness sector, a limited number of PPPs exist.
20 Role of partnerships in Agribusiness Agrifood SMEs to focus on their core capabilities, giving them the opportunity to do what they re great at. It adds value to business in the skills and services that SMEs have to offer. In a small business it is often hard to see alternative ways to take business forward. Collaboration, conversation and engagement with others lead to a fresh perspective and a new direction for your business. Partnerships allow entrepreneurs to expand their network and industry knowledge.
