Recognizing the great vision, determination and encouraging progress of ESAI; the Irish Aid (through its Private Sector Innovation Fund) has commenced collaboration with PCI and USAID in this pioneering project. The joined forces of the US and Irish Aid has therefore created the establishment of ‘Dairy Innovation Fund’. The ultimate goal of the Fund is to supplement and contribute to ESAI by providing a specific support to enhance dairy innovation that would lead to the transformation of the dairy sub-sector, by in large. The fund is designed to help innovative companies augment their risk averting capacity in the process of introducing new technology, knowledge and organizational forms that could bring new or more values in to the dairy industry.
Entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas that will contribute to the transformation of the dairy value chain are encouraged to apply. For more information please call Selamawit Getachew on +251 11 6631080/0912626637.
