As the Toward Sustainable Clusters in Agribusiness through Learning in Entrepreneurship (2SCALE) project nears its conclusion in 2025, the program is releasing new resources to sustain the momentum of inclusive agribusiness across Africa.
The “Driving Inclusive Agribusiness: 2SCALE Approach” course targets Inclusive Agribusiness Club (IAC) leaders, the private sector, and knowledge institutions, equipping them to apply, promote, and adapt inclusive business practices long after the program closes.
Built on over 12 years of hands-on experience, the course serves as both a training toolkit and a roadmap for fostering inclusive growth in agri-food value chains.
The Facilitator Guide is designed to be used by leaders supporting and working for organizations, projects/programs, and businesses to help small groups interact more efficiently and foster knowledge sharing and exchanges. Through interactive learning, real-life cases, and collaborative exercises, facilitators are encouraged to navigate participants through a process that inspires leadership for inclusive change.
The course is structured into three modules, designed to be delivered over five days in a progressive sequence that builds critical knowledge and skills. Additionally, these modules are available as individual documents, allowing facilitators and learners to access and engage with them at their own pace and based on their specific needs.
Module 1: Fundamentals of the Inclusive Agribusiness Approach
This introductory module helps participants understand the core principles of inclusive agribusiness and how to apply them in real-world settings. It sets the foundation for developing business models that are both commercially viable and socially inclusive.
Module 2: Inclusive Agribusiness Partnerships – The Co-Creation Process
This module dives into the process of forming inclusive agribusiness partnerships. It guides participants through the key steps of co-creation and provides practical tools to structure and govern effective collaborations.
Module 3: Facilitating and Sustaining Partnerships
The final module equips participants with the skills needed to sustain partnerships over time. It emphasizes the role of facilitators in designing action plans, managing relationships within partnerships, and ensuring continuous learning and adaptation.
By sharing these resources, 2SCALE aims to ensure that the inclusive agribusiness ecosystem continues to thrive and expand, led by local champions and institutional partners ready to carry the mission forward.
