Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA)

Arrière plan

This programme is financially supported by the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) and is designed for participants who completed Phases I and II of the BADEA–UNITAR Agribusiness SME Development Programme in Tanzania:
"Accelerating Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Livelihoods through the Development of Small and Medium Agribusiness Enterprises for Women and Youth."

Phases I & II, launched in November 2023, trained 102 women and youth entrepreneurs in foundational agribusiness skills, business planning, and climate-smart practices. Participants developed business plans, learned tools to address market competitiveness and environmental resilience, and strengthened leadership in local agribusiness.

Phase III builds on this foundation through a 4-week, fully online coaching and mentoring programme. It supports participants in moving from planning to practical implementation and scaling. The programme provides lectures, personalised mentoring, peer-to-peer learning, and hands-on assignments to improve market readiness, financial preparedness, and adoption of sustainable practices.

Objectifs d'apprentissage

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

  • Develop a 60–90-day Business Implementation Roadmap with at least three priority actions, timelines, and measurable milestones (Week 1).
  • Conduct a mini-market scan and create a Market Engagement Plan identifying two customer segments, two competitors, and three actionable strategies (Week 2).
  • Prepare a three-month cash-flow projection and a five-slide Pitch Deck outlining value proposition, funding needs, and expected returns (Week 3).
  • Deliver a 5-minute business pitch and submit a Revised Growth Roadmap integrating at least two climate-smart measures (Week 4).
Contenu et structure

The programme runs over four consecutive weeks with weekly live sessions, application labs, and mentoring:

  • Week 1 – From Planning to Action: Review and refine business plans; develop a 60–90-day roadmap incorporating climate-resilient practices.
  • Week 2 – Market Engagement & Competitiveness: Conduct mini-market scan; design Market Engagement Plan with actionable strategies.
  • Week 3 – Financial Preparedness & Pitch Development: Develop cash-flow projection; prepare five-slide pitch deck.

Key Value: Phase III of the Coaching & Mentoring Programme empowers women and youth agripreneurs in Tanzania to move from planning to practical implementation, building on the knowledge acquired in earlier phases. The programme enables Tanzanian women and youth agripreneurs to:

  • Launch and scale viable, climate-smart agribusiness ventures.

  • Strengthen resilience and sustainability in Tanzania’s agribusiness ecosystem.
