Expression of Interest (EoI): RE-GAIN- Building Resilience through Food Loss Reduction in Africa at AGRA

Background on AGRA and the RE-GAIN programme

Established in 2006, AGRA is an African-led institution dedicated to transforming agrifood systems on the continent. AGRA focuses on shifting agriculture from a survival-oriented activity to a thriving business, placing smallholder farmers at the heart of Africa’s growing economy. Working with partners, AGRA aims to sustainably enhance Africa’s food systems through various business lines. AGRA aims to reach 28 million small-scale producers across 15 countries in Africa.

RE-GAIN Programme: Scaling Food Loss Reduction Solutions

The RE-GAIN programme goal is “to build smallholder climate resilience and adaptive capacity by promoting the wide scale adoption of food loss reduction solutions (FL-RS) in the seven participating countries”. The programme will be implemented in seven African countries: Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia. The programme aims at increasing demand and absorption capacity for FL-RS by smallholder farmers, enhancing supply and affordability of the solutions, and strengthening enabling environments for scaling them up. AGRA seeks the services of partners to implement this programme.

This call for expression of interest invites implementing partners/organisations to work with AGRA in the implementation of the RE-GAIN Programme.

• Interested parties can apply for more than 1 country but need to submit their interest for each individual country separately.
• An interested party can apply to implement all components or only for parts of each component. Any combination of components or workstreams is allowed.
• Interested parties may apply as individual organisation or may form and present to AGRA, partnerships or consortia with other organisations for the implementation of both components and for the attainment of all 4 outputs under components 1 and 2.
