Trace Talks #6: Fostering inclusive value chainsby closing the tech gap
Dec. 9, 2021
4 p.m. CEST
Virtual
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the dynamics of global food supply chains are failing workers in the producing countries. Price volatility, suspended demands and low wages have driven farmers into poverty and food insecurity, rendering many value chains unable to operate with dignity.
In response, new ways to break out of business as usual are emerging through innovative practices that are not only more productive and sustainable, but also more inclusive.Those are:
-Lack of access to financial services
- Challenges related to the delivery of goods and services
- Gender inequality
- Lack of adequate supply-chain traceability
Grameen Foundation Regional Director, Africa, Alfred Yeboah joins a panel of speakers who will show us how they tackle these challenges through their innovative projects. They will share the lessons learned and explain why technology enables their solutions to be impactful. Register Today
