The project provides direct support to 24 small and medium agro-food enterprises through an innovation and development facility that finances the acquisition of essential tools, equipment, and materials to strengthen production and commercialisation processes. Beneficiaries are selected via a call for proposals assessed by a committee of project partners and local authorities, based on criteria such as sustainability, innovation, geographic coverage, and social impact.
Selected enterprises receive tailored technical assistance to launch the supported activities and to structure robust business plans, building on the methodologies and tools developed jointly by UNIPV and the University of Dschang.
