Climate-smart agribusiness in Africa needs thinking and learning out of the boxes of (Agri)business and (Agro)Ecology for common understanding and conducive action. The first part of the conference will set the frame, share information on viable climate-smart technologies, business models, policies that led to more and better food and raw materials, jobs, incomes while reducing, avoiding, or capturing Green House Gases (GHG). Following a human-centered and MSME-centred approach, questions will focus on who has benefited from climate finance and climate-smart products in which scope, scale and time frame. The event is hosted by African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD) and implemented by GIZ.
