Dakar sets course for AFSF 2025: Where green finance meets agropreneurs

In Dakar, a bootcamp brought together women entrepreneurs, green finance practitioners, and climate-smart agriculture specialists to fast-track low-carbon, gender-responsive, and bankable business models.

Organized by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT through AICCRA, ImpactSF and the Women’s Investment Club (WIC), the workshop mixed case studies, practical tools (such as the “Green” Business Model Canvas and sustainable business plans), and pitch preparation—all with the Africa Food Systems Forum, taking place in Dakar from August 31 to September 5, 2025.
