About this grant
The AgriFI-Ghana Country Window is a EUR 10m blended finance facility within AgriFI, an EU-funded initiative managed by the EDFI Management Company. It is part of a holistic strategy by the Government of Ghana and the EU to modernise Ghanaian agri-food systems, with a focus on the five northern regions and beyond and on seven high-potential crops. AgriFI responds to a shortage of financing mechanisms suited to smallholders with limited market orientation, vulnerable groups, women and youth, and to farmers and entrepreneurs. It uses a value-chain approach, aiming to raise smallholder yields and incomes, support sustainable supply chains, create employment, and improve food security and environmental and social practices. The facility provides investment rather than grants: junior and senior debt, quasi-equity and equity, with flexible terms such as patient capital, local-currency lending and flexible use of proceeds. The page describes a general AgriFI ticket size of EUR 0.5m to EUR 5m, medium-to-long tenors of 5 to 10+ years, and a focus on SMEs, financial institutions and impact funds in the agrifood and forestry value chain. The page does not state these terms specifically for the Ghana window. Its investment-proposal disclaimer says the information is indicative and not a commitment to finance.
