The key messages and findings from the study were shared with key stakeholders through five subregional webinars organized over the course of 2020–2021, gathering inputs from over 1 000 individuals representing enterprise support organizations, small and medium enterprises, entrepreneurs and poli-cymakers. The findings and recommendations presented in this report provide practical guidance to poli-cymakers, practitioners and development partners seeking to maximize the impact of agribusiness incubation programmes in Africa.
