Matching Fund

The Matching Fund (MF) is CARI’s most important implementation instrument. It leverages private sector funds to mobilize resources and realize synergies which result in higher impacts and better market linkages. Jointly defined activities such as farmers trainings on the SRP standard, business skills and access to finance are technically supported by CARI but implemented by the MF partners. Through this approach, the sustainability of the project is ensured. The MF partners have ownership of the project as they predominantly fund the activities and bear the responsibility to implement them.
