To support innovative agribusiness projects that contribute to the improvement of farming household incomes and job creation for young people, women, and youth, through the horticultural sector, the COMESA EAC Horticulture Accelerator (CEHA) project has awarded six vibrant agribusiness cooperatives and associations with up to $100,000 in matching grants. Supported by the Gates Foundation, the priority value chains over the short term for the CEHA projects are avocado, onion, and Irish potatoes.
Each grantee from the CEHA target countries of Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Uganda will contribute a matching amount to complement the CEHA grant.
Meet Oluwaseun Joshua Rasheed, Chief Executive Officer of SOUK, a cooperative enterprise based in Rwanda, who shares with us how the CEHA matching grants will contribute to unlocking SOUK’s potential.
