Technoserve Background
Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a better future. This simple idea has been at the heart of TechnoServe’s work around the world for over 50 years. TechnoServe is a pioneer in leveraging the power of business and markets to create sustainable pathways out of poverty
The low-income communities in which we work are full of enterprising people. Their small-scale farms and businesses are the keys to economic development. But they face many challenges: low literacy, lack of access to jobs and markets, unpredictable political dynamics and, increasingly, the effects of climate change. For many women and young people, the challenges are even more daunting. Working with TechnoServe staff, people around the world are lifting themselves out of poverty. The results are amazing…when incomes increase and living conditions for families get better, they are able to access health care and education previously out of reach. Communities and even whole countries are better off.
Program Description
TechnoServe is implementing a three-year (August 2022-September 2025), Inclusive Growth Strategies for Gender Diverse Food Processing SMEs program with grant funding from VISA Foundation. With an overarching mission to reduce poverty and increase resilience in the countries where we work (Tanzania and Kenya), this grant will help achieve two long-term goals: 1) Catalyze inclusive growth, both up and downstream, of gender-diverse SME agri-businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa; and 2) Close gaps between women-led and men-led businesses’ access to resources (capital, technical knowledge/skills) and profitability to fuel women’s economic empowerment across Sub-Saharan Africa.

TechnoServe will provide customized technical assistance and cost share funding to gender-diverse SME food processors in East Africa to catalyze inclusive growth through targeted upstream and downstream interventions. Specifically, we will work with 20+ SMEs from our installed base of nutritious food processors under AINFP in Kenya and Tanzania to drive inclusive growth through two approaches: strengthening smallholder farmer sourcing models using the Inclusive Business Plan (IBP) tool; and penetrating base-of-the-pyramid (BoP) markets using the Inclusive Marketing Plan (IMP) tool.
As part of knowledge management and learning, data management is a critical aspect of the program, including data collection, data capture, analysis, and dissemination. The program intends to engage a keen, analytical, and methodical M&E associate who will support the Program in quality data collection and reporting in liaison with the AINFP Tanzania and Kenya program managers.
