CASA’s Breakthrough Agri-Business Webinars
This series of online webinars are held monthly and start on 28th October. They will feature evidence and analysis by the CASA programme and partners to support the commercialization of agriculture in emerging markets across the developing world. The series will focus on the promotion of effective investment in agribusiness. As hosts, the CASA programme, aims to move beyond the curation and presentation of evidence, to facilitate insights among panellists and audiences.
The first webinar, ‘Stronger, Greener, Fairer Recovery: The Investment Response‘ will feature evidence on the impact of concessional finance and the role of government in agri-financing. We will also reveal a special report on the impact of COVID-19.
