Description
The Agribusiness e-Academy, under the Agribusiness Facility for Africa, offers a free training pathway targeting young and emerging agripreneurs. The program aims to support participants in developing climate-smart and investment-ready agribusiness ideas. Participants go through a series of online courses covering business model development, financial feasibility, and climate adaptation. They will then develop a complete business concept (AgriCanvas).
