Are you an entrepreneur running a micro or small enterprise that contributes to sufficient, safe and/or nutritious food and agricultural production in Kenya? If yes, then the new WIDU Local Call: #FoodCallKenya is your opportunity to scale-up or start off your business!
Target Sectors
- Farming and food production
- Agri-Services
- Food processing
- Nutritional health
- Reduction of food waste
- IT and data for food security
Funding Information
Participating Entrepreneurs privately invest between Kshs 30,000 and Kshs 120,000. WIDU will multiply the investment by 2.5 – successful participants can receive a grant of up to Kshs 300,000 (the grant will not have to be paid back).
Why Food Security?
- With rising food insecurity taking center stage owing to the enormous challenges posed by COVID-19, Russian-Ukraine War and changing climate, WIDU Kenya will support micro and small businesses response efforts for a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient recovery of their agriculture and food systems.
- Within this context, WIDU Kenya encourages proposals that aim to increase the impact of agricultural and food systems interventions through emphasis on cross-cutting areas of gender, climate resilience, and improved nutrition outcomes.
Eligibility Criteria
Micro and small businesses (up to 20 employees), start-ups and new business ideas.
