- Where We Work

TechnoServe serves as the manager of the Technical Assistance Facility (TAF), which supports the African Agriculture Fund, a private equity fund, to address food security challenges across Africa. TAF provides technical assistance to small- and medium-sized enterprises invested in by the African Agriculture Fund, and improves linkages between enterprises and smallholder outgrowers. |
More than 35 percent of Uganda’s cultivated land is dedicated to banana production, and there is a large domestic market for matooke bananas. In 2005, TechnoServe started working with smallholder matooke farmers to address value chain inefficiencies and market failures. |
The Storage and Proper Post-Harvest Improvements for Resource Efficiency (SAPPHIRE) program is working to increase incomes for 20,000 smallholder maize and rice farmers in the Mbeya Region. Better post-harvest handling will increase the value of grain crops, and improved access to storage will reduce losses. |
