Editor\u2019s Note: <\/strong>Since 2012, GAFSP has invested over $80M in 32 producer organisation-led projects, helping farmers face climate shocks, conflict and pandemics while growing incomes. The 8th Call for Proposals is now open to farmer organisations, offering access to a $38 million grant to fund projects that boost food security, climate resilience and rural livelihoods.<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) Steering Committee has launched\u00a0the GAFSP 8th Call for Proposals from Producer Organisations<\/a>\u00a0with a budget of $38 million. Producer Organisations (POs) are groups of farmers that, through their collective action, offer members improved access to markets, credit, technical support and technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) is very inclusive,\u201d said Stephen Muchiri, CEO of the East Africa Farmers Federation, during the\u00a02025 Producer Organisations Stocktaking Event<\/a>\u00a0organised by GAFSP. \u201cThe Program has been able to work with small farmer organisations, large ones, young ones, old ones, and I think this is the spirit of leaving no one behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

This Call for Proposals invites POs to submit proposals for projects that strengthen rural food systems and boost climate resilience. GAFSP grant financing provided for PO-led projects has a history of success, helping farmers access finance<\/a> in this era of compounding crises and deepening food insecurity. \u00a0<\/p>\n

POs have helped rural communities respond to food crises and emergency situations caused by flooding, drought, conflict and pandemics while increasing livelihood opportunities. To date, GAFSP has already allocated over $80 million in financing for Producer Organisations through 32 projects in the world\u2019s poorest countries.<\/p>\n

The new 8th Call for Proposals builds upon lessons learned from evaluations, thematic assessments and knowledge exchanges across Producer Organisations recently undertaken by GAFSP. The Call includes concrete steps envisaged under GAFSP\u2019s emerging \u201cVision 2030\u201d Strategic Plan toward improving and scaling support mechanisms for PO members; strengthening public and private sector linkages; and more intentionally addressing the multiple and interconnected challenges related to food and nutrition security, climate resilience and women\u2019s empowerment in an integrated manner. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Partnerships with the private sector will be at the core of this call. Capacity-gap assessments will be undertaken systematically so that organisations can effectively leverage grant financing to build linkages with local and regional agri-food chains and tap into new funding sources, including climate funds and private finance. For the first time, each proposal considered under the Call will also be required to explore potential synergies with public sector investments supported by GAFSP and contribute to both climate resilience and women\u2019s empowerment outcomes.<\/p>\n

This is the first PO-led call open to regional producer organisations (RPOs) to pilot multi-country projects, leveraging RPOs\u2019 work to amplify country-level investments and facilitate knowledge exchange across their networks in the regions they operate.<\/p>\n

In sum, proposals submitted under this call can lead to projects that drive transformative change, foster public and private synergies and boost knowledge sharing across borders. Guidelines for submissions can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
