KPMG IDAS was the Fund Manager of the Sierra Leone Agribusiness Development Fund (SLADF). The SLADF was created to address financing and technical assistance challenges faced by agribusinesses that have plans to work with smallholder farmers in out-grower schemes. The fund promoted agribusiness and smallholder farmer linkages along all value chains based on: demonstration of impact on farmers’ income, competitiveness, job creation and bankability. The SLADF combined both high developmental impact with commercial viability in order to leverage investment in the agribusiness value chains in Sierra Leone.
