IREN-AGRI (Initiative de Renforcement Structurel des filières Agricoles Africaines) is an initiative co-launched and co-developed by Societe Generale group (SG CIB & Société Générale Côte d’Ivoire) and Ksapa.
IREN-AGRI combines technical assistance, low tech digitalization and inclusive finance. It is designed to foster transformation at 1st mile level of African agricultural chains at scale by bringing access to financial inclusion & investment capacities as well as access to digital solutions & proper assistance to the 1st mile level of Ivoirian and African agricultural chains.
IREN AGRI is a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Project, with an ongoing Memorandum of Understanding with the Ivoirian Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development and the support of the French Direction générale du Trésor, supported by a multi-stakeholder coalition lead by Ksapa including Nitidæ, Inades-Formation, PALO IT, DS Avocats, Kanop, Sunshine Chocolats, or Mezamonde.
The Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance selected the IREN AGRI program in the nine new financial solutions for its 2025 annual cohort.
These financial mechanisms aim to drive climate investments in emerging markets, supporting sustainable development, decarbonization, and climate resilience.
“The Lab’s 2025 cohort emphasizes the growing opportunities for private investment to support entrepreneurs who are tackling the climate crisis,” said Barbara Buchner, CPI’s Global Managing Director. “Private capital is essential for driving scalable solutions that can help address the worsening impacts of climate change, particularly in the world’s most vulnerable communities bearing the brunt of devastating wildfires, storms, floods, and drought,” she added.
“We are excited to see our portfolio of climate investment models grow in a year that is particularly crucial for showcasing the opportunity of investing in sustainable development,” said Ben Broché, Director of CPI’s Innovative Finance workstream.
