Private Sector Solutions for Helping Smallholder Farmers
Changing Lives, the flagship publication of the Private Sector Window of the Global Agriculture and Security Program (GAFSP), highlights the ways that GAFSP’s blended finance investments and advisory support unlocks opportunity for smallholder farmers in some of the world’s poorest and most fragile countries. This edition features impact stories about how GAFSP is boosting resilience and improving the lives and livelihoods of rural communities.
The 2025 edition includes impact stories and videos about IFC and GAFSP-supported projects in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Haiti, Malawi, Zambia and others, where training and investment support are helping strengthen farmer cooperatives, streamline local value chains and boost food security.
Since our program began in 2011, GAFSP’s Private Sector Window, in collaboration with IFC, has approved investments totaling $505 million to support 93 agribusiness projects in 29 countries. Additionally, we have supported $54 million in 106 advisory projects across 35 countries.
