Here's how we are different

Agile and scalable

We’re a compact, friendly organization with a global network. We're big enough to scale and small enough to flex. Our services are delivered with ownership in the hands of our in-country partners.

Lasting impact

We train technical agri-food professionals to collaborate. By creating shared ownership, we trigger high engagement in your project. This leads to cost-effective outcomes with lasting impact.

Practically fun

We bring a playful energy to every project and training session. Our approach is light and practical, and we love to make things simple. This makes challenging projects easier to design and implement.

Walking the talk

We don't just teach facilitation skills; we role model them. Partnering with us means working with experts in collaboration. Together we create projects that run smoothly, based on collective trust.

Creating a bigger pie for all

Competitive clusters

We build local, commodity-specific networks of agri-food actors called clusters. Agribusinesses taking part in strong partnerships are more competitive and resilient. Creating a bigger pie for all, not just bigger slices for some.

Training trainers

Partnerships aren't built automatically. Cluster coaches facilitate partnerships and guide their maturation to independence. Regional agribusiness trainers support coaches. This training-of-trainers model keeps agency in the hands of local professionals. It also scales-up our impact.

Guiding negotiation

Loyalty between farmers and buyers is difficult to build and maintain. Written contracts are no guarantee. Our agribusiness trainers guide agribusinesses in negotiating, contracting and overcoming conflict. They kick-start partnerships based on mutual trust.

Lasting partnerships

iCRA consolidates partnerships before project funding ends. We help agribusiness networks assess their relevance, mature and ensure business viability. This encourages more stakeholders to join which scales the cluster and promotes lasting impact.

Preparing the next generation of agri-food professionals

Partnering with private sector

Skilled graduates are the future. Education should teach the skills the labor market needs. Providers must align with the private sector to foster long lasting, pragmatic relationships.

Learning by doing

Learning should be useful and joyful. Students need practical skills to kick-start their careers. We train educators to use innovative, student-centered approaches to learning and nurture their confidence and soft skills.

Rethinking curricula

How can your curriculum reflect the complex needs of the private sector? We assess existing content and support redesign to build a responsive program that prepares students for the realities of work.

Future focus

We help teachers, universities and vocational trainers to improve the connection between the classroom and the world of work. We support them to create strong alumni networks for mentoring and internships.

Train the trainer

We can access a global community of expert partnership makers. Our regional trainers support community coaches who then guide their regional agribusiness clusters towards independence.

Co-building partnership

We build meaningful connections throughout the project life cycle. We reveal shared interests, incentivize collaboration, and mitigate risk. We catalyse relationships and cement them.

Agri-education

Inspiring fresh ideas

The agricultural sector needs skilled graduates with an entrepreneurial mindset. We connect education providers to local businesses. We inspire students and encourage them to explore.

Professional courses

We train education professionals to use an innovative, student-centered pedagogy that engages participants and prepares them for the real world. Training is dynamic, relevant and fun.
