The programme

FO4IMPACT promotes inclusive, sustainable and climate-resilient agricultural value chains based on agroecological principles and through strengthened farmers’ organisations. Financed and administered by the European Union and the International Fund for Agricultural Development.

AgriCord implements 16 projects in Africa with a volume of EUR 6.5 million until 2029. FO4IMPACT is co-implemented with the continental and regional farmers’ organisations in Africa (PAFO, SACAU, ROPPA, PROPAC, EAFF).

AgriCord’s farmer-centric approach

AgriCord’s work is defined by farmers’ priorities, co-developed and implemented with farmers’ organisations at local, national, regional and global level. Our agri-agencies provide technical support for farmers’ organisations to address constraints in production, markets, finance, governance and resilience.

Strengthening farmer organisations’ capacities for co-research and innovation is essential for scaling both value chain integration and resilience. This approach enables farmers to develop, adapt and spread locally relevant solutions, respond to changing market and climate conditions, and drive sustainable transformation from within their own organisations and networks.

By 2029

What success looks like

135,000 farmers across 16 countries have better income, improved access to finance, markets and value chains through their own organisations.

Farmers have adopted agroecological practices at scale, through advisory services and farmer-to-farmer learning.

29 lead FOs and their sub-national members have stronger governance, accountability and management systems, and secure further partnerships and funding.

Farmers’ organisations receive stronger recognition from policy actors in their countries, with women and young farmers having a stronger voice in advocacy on climate-resilient agriculture.
