+++ About the webinar +++

While the COVID-19 crisis has caused disruptions in African agricultural value chains, access to financial products and services for agri-SMEs to engage in markets has remained critical. This webinar explores how actors that provide or facilitate access to value chain and trade finance for agri-SMEs have responded to the crisis.

As in earlier sessions in this SAFIN-AGRIFIN joint webinar series, the focus is particularly on how the crisis has brought out new opportunities to strengthen business models in value chain and trade finance, and what promising innovations are emerging in the landscape.
