I&P joins the second phase of the SSNUP program – Smallholder SustaiNability Upscaling Program

We are pleased to announce that Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P) and its network of partner teams are joining the second phase (2025–2029) of the SSNUP program, coordinated by ADA, alongside Shared Interest and Balim Investments and the nine other teams already partnering in the first phase of the program (2020–2024). 

For more than 20 years, I&P and its network of partner teams have been committed to facilitating access to financing for African SMEs and strengthening local entrepreneurial ecosystems through direct investment, the development of these partner teams, and structural support for entrepreneurs. 

By joining SSNUP, I&P is contributing to a collective effort to:

• strengthen the resilience of family farms,
• support sustainable agricultural value chains,
• mobilize more responsible private investment in Africa. 

For the second phase, I&P and its partner teams—Sinergi (Niger), Néré Capital (Burkina Faso), Comoé Capital (Ivory Coast), Zira Capital (Mali), Inua Capital (Uganda), Fako Capital (Cameroon), Teranga Capital (Senegal), Miarakap (Madagascar), and Gola Capital (Guinea), as well as the IPAE team—will deploy these resources to provide technical assistance to high-potential SMEs in the agricultural sector in their countries.  

The program is coordinated by ADA and funded by three donors: Swiss Confederation, LuxDev, and LED - Liechtenstein Development Service.

I&P is delighted to have this opportunity to contribute to a program that directly benefits its partners and African SMEs in its network, combining technical expertise and responsible financing.
