Since 2012, Agri-ProFocus has been implementing so-called gender in value chain coaching tracks through its Agri-Hub networks. The coaching tracks aim at increasing the capacities of organisations for gender-inclusive value chain development. But also the coaches need some coaching! A training was organised in Arusha to address the skills required for successful coaching.
From 2-4 October, Agri-ProFocus Indonesia saw its live launch at the Salak Hotel in Bogor. Over 60 participants joined to set the network’s agenda, which is to promote farmer entrepreneurship in Indonesia by linking networks and professionals, brokering business, fostering innovation and stimulating debate.
In 12 African countries, Agri-ProFocus has established successful networks for the promotion of farmer entrepreneurship. Based on the success of these Agri-Hubs, partnership members Hivos, Cordaid and ICCO initiated an exploration into setting up an Agri-Hub in Indonesia in 2013.
