Description
1) Objective
GAFSP recognizes Producer Organizations (POs) as critical actors in linking smallholder farmers to input, capital, and product markets. By enhancing the capacity and reach of POs, GAFSP aims to increase agricultural productivity and incomes, particularly for smallholders, while improving food availability and access for consumers.
The GAFSP 9th Call for Proposals for Country-led Projects launched on May 13, 2026. Eligible countries are invited to submit proposals and all required supporting documents by September 15, 2026. Applications should be prepared by governments in consultation with their selected Supervising Entity(ies) and relevant stakeholders, including smallholder farmers, producer organizations, women’s groups, private sector actors, civil society, and development partners. Priority will be given to high-quality proposals that demonstrate strong country ownership, implementation readiness, co-financing, and innovative approaches to addressing food security and nutrition challenges.
2) Eligibility

b) Its members include farmers, pastoralists, artisanal fishers, forest-dwelling groups, landless people, and/or indigenous people.
c) It is owned by its members: PO members participate in the governance of the PO.
