Ecosystem Analysis and Development of an Implementation Roadmap to Guide the Implementation of Value4Her in Malawi

Recognizing the critical role women play in agriculture across Sub-Saharan Africa, AGRA launched the VALUE4HER initiative to enhance the performance of female-led agribusinesses. The initiative aims to close gender gaps in productivity and business performance by improving access to high-value markets, finance, investment opportunities, and leadership development.

VALUE4HER specifically addresses the structural barriers faced by women agripreneurs, enabling them to fully participate in and benefit from Africa’s agricultural transformation. The initiative is being implemented in several countries, including Malawi, Rwanda, Mozambique, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Tanzania.

To support its rollout in Malawi, AGRA engaged Equip Consulting Group to conduct a comprehensive ecosystem analysis and develop a practical implementation roadmap. This work is designed to inform the localization of VALUE4HERinterventions, ensuring they are relevant, impactful, and responsive to the needs of women-led agribusinesses in Malawi.
