EBAgroPamoja is offering affordable solar power dryers, Solar fridges and irrigation among other value chain intervention products & services for actors in Kenya to add value and tap into the hidden opportunities across the entire agro-value chain. It's one of the ways we are creating wealth for the youth and farmers to ensure their businesses flourish.

Through operational level mutual partnerships, EBAFOSA is leveraging ICT to actualize connections among complementary actors along the value chain needed to establish EBA based clean energy powered agro-industrialization. EBAFOSA ICT –driven mobile app, Ebagropamoja, an end-to-end agribusiness management enterprise resource planning (ERP) appli–cation has integrated the entire EBA-based clean energy powered agro-industrialization value chain to facilitate seamless flow of information and service provision among actors in this chain.

PILLAR 4 - Innovative Financing for upscaling climate solutions through risk-sharing facilities

To mobilize financing for processes & products along the EBAFOSA climate action chain EBAFOSA is leveraging on complementary mutual partnerships among stakeholders along this chain and risk sharing facilities as innovative financing strategies.     

Quality standardization is a critical market enabler to building a competitive industry. And to formalize this integrated paradigm aligned to Africa’s area of strength, and establish it competitively will require benchmarks, regulations & certifications to standardize processes, technologies & techniques across the continent.

Policy is the biggest driver of change. Maximizing productivity of the catalytic areas will need harmonization of policies across multiple ministries to ensure they complement the amalgamation of EBA-driven Agriculture with clean energy value addition.

Amalgamating clean energy expansion to power value addition of environmentally sustainably produced agro-products presents a potential catalytic area for Africa targeted by the EBAFOSA. The amalgamation is meant to maximize productivity of agriculture by cutting on postharvest losses, losses due to climate change & losses due to ecosystems degradation.

The idea that led to the establishment of EBAFOSA
