By the end of the programme in 2030, Propcom+ aims to impact:

Strengthening Opportunities,
Boosting Resilience, Enabling Growth
Our focus is on creating inclusive, resilient and commercially viable market systems that benefit smallholder farmers, agribusinesses and rural communities. By fostering private sector leadership, facilitating investment-led growth and promoting innovation, we help agricultural markets deliver better services, products and pathways to prosperity.
Programme Approach
Now in its fourth year of implementation, Propcom+ continues to facilitate sustainable, pro-poor, and climate-resilient growth across selected rural markets. Operating as a market systems facilitator, the programme identifies constraints that limit market performance and catalyses systemic changes that enable markets to function more effectively for poor and climate-vulnerable smallholder farmers, as well as rural micro and small-scale enterprises.
Portfolio 1 – Livestock Health and Productivity
Focuses on improving livestock productivity and market performance through better access to animal health products, services and vaccine systems.
Interventions:
- Scaling last mile delivery of livestock vaccines through the Community Animal Health Workers (CAHW) and Veterinary Paraprofessional (VPP) model
- Poultry and livestock vaccine supply, including supply-side constraints and market coordination.
Portfolio 2 – Climate Smart Seeds
This focuses on improving farmer access to trusted, climate-smart and biofortified seed varieties
Interventions:
- Rural Seed Promoter (RSP) model for last-mile seed distribution
- Early Generation Seed/private-sector accreditation and seed-system strengthening.
Portfolio 3 – Large-Scale Commodity Sourcing
Focuses on structured sourcing relationships between producer groups, aggregators, processors and anchor buyers.
Interventions:
- Large-scale production, aggregation and supply of commodities such as barley, sorghum, sesame and other priority crops
- Producer, SME and aggregator readiness for structured sourcing, quality, contracting and offtake.
Cross-Cutting Portfolios – Access to Finance
Supports portfolio delivery by addressing finance constraints that limit partner investment, scale and adoption.
Interventions
- Improving access to financial services/products and investment opportunities for agribusiness MSMEs and smallholder farmer groups through deal brokerage, BDS support, investment deal making, financial readiness advisory, B2B matchmaking, etc.
- Facilitating Derisking Mechanisms for Agricultural Lending through Subnational and Market-led Actors.
Cross-Cutting Portfolios – Rapid Response Facility
Provides time-bound support for policy, technical or institutional issues that unlock portfolio delivery or wider programme objectives.
Interventions
- Rapid response applications for portfolio-linked policy or technical bottlenecks
- Short-term support to approved policy, regulatory or institutional opportunities.
