Proparco and Equity Group, a Kenya based not-for-profit foundation, have signed a €1 million agreement to support the Climate Resilient Agri-Food Systems (CRAFS) project, an Equity Group Foundation (EGF) initiative helping Kenyan smallholder farmers adopt sustainable practices.

The signing took place in Nairobi, on March 18, attended by French Ambassador H.E. Arnaud Suquet, Proparco’s East Africa Director Jean Guyonnet-Dupérat, and Equity Group CEO Dr. James Mwangi.

CRAFS will train 15,000 farmers annually in climate-smart agriculture, covering energy use, sustainable farming, waste-to-energy, and water management. A field team and industry partners will support implementation.
