Resilient Agriculture Innovations for Nature (RAIN) – Phase 1

We partnered with the Shockwave Foundation and the Munich Re Foundation on the Resilient Agriculture Innovations for Nature (RAIN) challenge. RAIN 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. Nine projects were chosen as the phase 1 winners. They have received mentorship, communications and MEL support throughout 2024.
