UNCDF hopes to provide 15,000 smallholder farmers with access to financing for input needs and goods to lower post-harvest losses as part of programme interventions. UNCDF aims to reach the potential of smallholder farmers by providing enhanced savings clubs, e-extension consulting services integrated with financial and digital literacy education, and improved yields, superior quality goods, and market access.
