Resilient Agriculture Innovations for Nature (RAIN) 3

After two successful rounds, we’ve partnered with the Shockwave Foundation and the Munich Re Foundation on phase III of the Resilient Agriculture Innovations for Nature (RAIN) challenge. RAIN 3 aims to convert seed-level innovative agricultural ideas that are meeting resilience needs in East Africa and scale them to sustainable business ideas of interest to private investors and funders. Following in depth evaluation, 10 projects were chosen as the RAIN 3 winners.
