Seed Systems & Climate-Resilient Value Chains (Catalytic Seed Project)
To build responsive, sustainable, and resilient maize and rice seed systems from research to markets. The project boosts local seed companies via the Program for Africa's Seed Systems (PASS) to produce certified, high-yielding, and climate-smart varieties.. Cost: Supported by co-investments from AGRA, the UNDP, and international facility grants (e.g., FAPA providing a sub-grant of $1,000,000 USD for seed company development services across partner countries).
