Thanks for this news update Fotios Stravoravdis. 55 Submissions for the Challenge Fund Grants is great. It is also good to learn who submitted the top three proposals. Keep up the great work.
Three innovative projects designed to help countries in Southern Africa protect against the risk of agricultural disasters have won a Challenge Fund led by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR); the Platform for Agricultural Risk Management; the Centre for Disaster Protection; and the World Bank’s Agriculture Observatory, Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance Program and its London Hub. The three winning ideas propose agriculture and food security risk financing tools to help inform and support public sector policy and program decision-making in the region, with the aim of better allocating public resources to reduce economic losses, poverty and food insecurity.

In October 2015, AgriFin organized a study tour to visit HDFC Bank and Mahindra Finance in Jaipur, India. The two host organizations in India are pioneers in regards to reaching smallholders and providing finance. HDFC, India’s sixth largest bank with over 3,000 branches across India with farm lending assets of around US$5 billion, have developed innovative ways of financing smallholders using value chain financing and warehouse receipt techniques. Mahindra Finance is the sister company of Mahindra Tractors, the number one seller of tractors in the world, providing financing to smallholders who wish to invest in farming equipment. This document provides key lessons learned from the study tour.
