Application deadline: 31 January 2025.
We are looking for innovative and scalable nature positive solutions that drive investment in ecosystems and increase resilience while resulting in a stronger and better context for nature positive agriculture to flourish. The initiatives must build resilience for those most impacted by climate shocks and stresses. They must include a focus on gender, equity and human rights, and protect biodiversity. The aim is to identify new innovative agricultural initiatives and provide customised support to maximise each initiative’s potential for impact.
Who can apply?
RAIN is open to not-for-profit organisations across public, local civil society, international NGOs and academia, as well as for-profit organisations, farmers, and entrepreneurs in East Africa (Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda).
What will winners receive?
Winners will be connected with potential funders, receive a tailored mentoring program, and communications support to refine their messaging. In addition, they will be invited to an investor forum and pitching session in-person or virtually. Experts will facilitate a leadership academy for the shortlisted candidates. Lastly, winners will receive a cash prize of up to 50,000 USD after the initial mentoring period and after the leadership academy.
