Building capacity for social compliance of investments in African agriculture: Public-Private Partnership

The partner in this PPP, AATIF, is an investment fund that emerged through a public-private partnership initiated by the KfW Development Bank on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and Deutsche Bank. It aims to realize the potential of Africa’s agriculture for the benefit of the poor. AATIF pursues a private sector approach addressing the specific needs of the agricultural sector in a market-oriented way, while its social and environmental management system and strong governance structure with an independent compliance advisor ensure a positive development impact.
