ComMark Private Standards Innovation Fund: Forging Partnerships for Development
Sustained, pro-poor growth is the only way to tackle poverty in Africa, and the agricultural sector can serve as a powerful catalyst in this process. Africa forms a key part of the Royal Agricultural College’s (RAC) outreach activities. Aside from providing training to students, the RAC also works to develop private sector partnerships that are able to deliver tangible benefits to African farmers. One success story is the Zambian Small Scale Grower Company. In 2007, the RAC facilitated a partnership between Mack Multiples and the ComMark Trust.
