The Investment Prospectus Framework (IPF) is an instrument designed for SAFIN partners and interested actors to identify opportunities for collaborative action and financing in agri-SME dense value chains with the potential for transformative change at the country level. Each Investment Prospectus is expected to allow SAFIN partners to align their prospective activities and portfolios around these opportunities and related financing needs.
The experience of piloting the IPF in Colombia, Dominican Republic, India, Jamaica, Nigeria and Uganda during 2018–2020 formed the basis of a “How-to guide” that was published in May 2020. The guide was designed to enable SAFIN partners and interested actors to deploy the framework independently of the SAFIN Secretariat, when seeking to align themselves around transformative investments in agri-SMEs in specific contexts.
