The program partners of the Smallholder Safety Net Upscaling Programme (SSNUP) met in Luxembourg at the end of March to take stock of what has been achieved so far and prepare for the next phase from 2025. LED Managing Director Andreas Sicks and LED Project Manager Marion Reichenbach represented the LED at this meeting. The LED has been involved in the SSNUP program as a bilateral donor since 2021. LED values the fruitful partnership with impact investors and other donors in the SSNUP program to promote the productivity and resilience of smallholder farmers in Africa, Latin America and Asia through improved risk management and more sustainable farming practices.
Milestones of SSNUP
Since the programme was launched in 2020, 79 projects have been approved in the area of “technical assistance”, supporting 184 organizations and around 115,000 smallholder farmers in 29 partner countries. The program contributes to improving the food security and living standards of smallholder households and promotes the development of sustainable agricultural value chains. Support for smallholder farmers is to be continued in order to create a more resilient and sustainable future for all.
