  • Internship – Marketing

    Internship – Marketing

    Background: 2SCALE

    The 2SCALE program[1] is designed to incubate and accelerate inclusive business development in African agri-food systems. 2SCALE works together with companies (African, Dutch and other small and medium-sized enterprises – SMEs) and producer organizations (POs) to develop business models and partnership models that promote inclusiveness, develop competitive edge, and have potential for scaling. These partnerships, also referred to as public-private partnerships (PPPs), are the core implementation modality to achieve the objectives of the program.

    Specifically, 2SCALE supports partnerships in target agri-food industries with significant potential to:

    Improve food and nutrition security, both at grassroots level and at the consumer end of the value chain by serving local and regional markets (including Base-of-the-Pyramid – BoP – markets) with nutritious food products.
    Improve the terms of inclusion of smallholder farmers and other micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the value chains, including women economic empowerment and youth employment.

    To strengthen PPPs, 2SCALE also collaborates with companies and organizations that provide a specific expertise to support the target agri-food value chains or act as a major off-taker in the chain.

    2SCALE is co-funded by the private sector and by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Directorate-General for International Cooperation (DGIS). Building on a first phase (2012-18), the current phase of 2SCALE runs from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023. It is awarded to a consortium led by the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) and comprising the Base-of-the-Pyramid Innovation Center (Bopinc) and SNV Netherlands Development Organization (SNV).

    In the Kenya portfolio, there are 10 partnerships developed with different business champions. The partnerships in in animal production, staple crops, vegetables, and oil crops. The activities are implemented in the field in collaboration with different partners and actors including farmers, service providers, and county governments, among others. Partnership facilitators support implementation of activities in each partnership.
