Last October, the Livelihoods Funds, with the World Agroforestry Centre, Vi Agroforestry and Brookside Dairy, brought together about 80 high-level officials from governments, private sector and NGOs in Nairobi. The goal was to explore innovative ways to use blended finance to create mutual value for smallholder farmers, investors and off-takers in complex agricultural landscapes.
This dialogue was a side-event of the official launch of the Livelihoods Mount Elgon Project in Kenya which aims at improving the livelihood of 30,000 farmers in Kenya through an innovative investment model.
