We recently held a consultative workshop on the Sustainable Agriculture Financing Facility (SAFF) in collaboration with technical advisors Pula and members of the insurance consortium.
SAFF is a project under the Ministry of Agriculture and supported by the Zambia Credit Guarantee Scheme (ZCGS). It provides access to funds and other essential financial resources such as insurance to more than 23,000 small scale farmers countrywide. Under SAFF, beneficiaries have been provided with Weather Index insurance offering comprehensive cover for their maize crops.
Deputy Director Marketing Kuda Ngoma officiated the workshop which drew participation from the Ministry of Agriculture Zambia Credit Guarantee Scheme, the banking sector, and the insurance consortium.
