The Eastern and Southern African trade and development bank (TDB), the multilateral investment guarantee agency (MIGA) and OCP Group have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) during the world bank group and international monetary fund annual meetings, to enhance collaboration in addressing agriculture and food security challenges in Africa.

Specifically, the three parties have agreed to identify suitable areas for deploying MIGA’s risk mitigation instruments. They have expressed willingness to collaborate in trade finance transactions, using MIGA’s guarantees for the importation of strategic commodities including fertilizers in Africa.

This collaboration aims to enhance food security, promote employment and farmers’ livelihoods, secure their access to international markets, bolster productivity, and increase foreign exchange availability and earnings by facilitating the export of commercial crops.
