The PPP approach adopted by 2SCALE puts the private sector in the lead by facilitating and co-financing joint interventions that drive inclusiveness. Inclusiveness in the context of 2SCALE entails empowering youth, women, and low-income communities to be fairly integrated in agri value chains by ensuring their ownership and voice are visible and that risks and rewards are fairly shared by the stakeholders. To ensure this, the program supports grassroot actors’ empowerment through developing Agribusiness Clusters (ABCs). Further enhance youth economic inclusion and skills matching in partnerships.
