This project will integrate SMARTFARM to the ongoing projects in Rwanda and Ethiopia. As a start, baseline information relation to crops, geo-coordinated and farmer information will be gathered on the platform through lead farmers.

This project serves as a transformative bridge between climate change adaptation and fintech innovation by establishing a venture-building and ecosystem -building facility to accelerate fintech-enabled solutions that enhance climate resilience for vulnerable communities in Africa. The initiative provides startups that receive investment from the Catalyst Fund, a pioneering climate adaptation-focused fund in Africa, with tailored venturebuilding support, expert mentorship, and expansive networks. This approach de-risks startups, enhances productmarket fit, and scales impactful solutions.
