2SCALE Thematic Papers Gender Mainstreaming in Agribusiness Partnerships | Page 2

The Netherlands-funded 2SCALE program is an incubator for inclusive agribusiness that aims to improve rural livelihoods and food and nutrition security across nine sub-Saharan countries. 2SCALE offers a range of support services to private partners – companies and farmer groups – enabling them to produce, transform, and supply quality food products to local, national, and regional end-user markets, including base-of-the- pyramid (low-income) consumers. “Gender Mainstreaming in Agribusiness Partnerships: Insights from 2SCALE” shares 2SCALE’s approach to gender, highlights case studies, and outlines lessons learned. It is the first in a series of 2SCALE thematic papers.
