GCIC – Farmerline Incubation Track

GCIC has partnered with Farmerline to provide full incubation support to 10 agribusinesses (Farmers / Aggregators / Input dealers) within Farmerline’s network of farms. The 10 agribusiness are also known to work with over 12,000 farmers. And so, beyond the 10 agribusiness to be impacted with full businesses incubation services, the initiative also aims to leverage its field trainings and demonstrations farmers to impact the larger group of farmers (who would otherwise not have qualified to enter the GCIC incubation on their own merit) with partial incubation services focused on climate smart agriculture innovations and technologies. More significantly, Farmerline will also leverage the Farmer helpline, to educate the over 12, 000 farmers. This will be achieved by creating content from the masterclass programs, translating, and disseminating them as voice messages to these farmers using their Mergdata platform.

This initiative is in line with Ghana’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The focus is on mitigating climate change and using climate-friendly technologies for economic growth. The “Ghana Green Jobs Strategy” aims to create over one million jobs by 2030.

The program which runs from June 2024 to August 2025, will support MSMEs across five regions of Ghana – Greater Accra, Ashanti, Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo, for six (6) months, to scale their operations and fortify climate adaptation practices within their enterprises.

This will run from May to December 2024
