| Abstract | In 2023, the 2SCALE program marked a pivotal year as it completed the full-scale implementation of its second phase and celebrated a decade of fostering inclusive agribusiness in Africa. Notably, the program launched Inclusive Agribusiness Clubs across its operational countries, providing a platform for stakeholders to engage in discussions on sustainable practices and common challenges. A significant two-day pan-African workshop in Abidjan showcased achievements and shared lessons learned, particularly in Francophone regions. By year-end, 2SCALE had met seven out of eight Universal Impact Indicators, benefiting 1.9 million low-income consumers and empowering 1.1 million smallholder farmers. The program's strategic focus on public-private partnerships (PPPs) proved essential in enhancing food and nutrition security, with a leveraged investment of €162.77 million against €62 million allocated by DGIS. Despite challenges such as global supply chain disruptions and inflation, 2SCALE demonstrated resilience through adaptive management, successfully implementing system change activities and strengthening financial inclusion. As the program transitions toward its conclusion, it aims to solidify the impact of its initiatives and empower local actors to sustain growth in inclusive agribusiness practices. | |
