The FCDO invites bids by 27 February 2024 to review existing research on smallholder farmers’ access to finance in low- and middle-income countries.
The purpose of this Evidence Fund evaluation is to review existing research on smallholder farmers’ access to finance in low- and middle-income countries, with the goal of supporting their transition to sustainable agricultural practices.
The Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) aims to:
- map the current financial landscape
- assess the impact of finance on sustainable practices
- identify gaps in the literature – setting the stage for future research, policy, and development programmes
The initiative is driven by the need identified by the FCDO’s Investment in Forest and Sustainable Land Use 2 (IFSLU2) program, responding to a call for targeted support to smallholders and incorporating a specific component (Component 2) for this purpose. The REA will lay the groundwork for further research and development initiatives.
What the fund will achieve
The evaluation will:
- directly inform activities under current programmes
- shape the design of future programmes
- provide evidence for FCDO and the wider sector
