About: The Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) invites applications for its 26th Call for Proposals, aiming to transform commodity value chains and support smallholder and SME-based enterprises in CFC member countries. This initiative provides financial and technical support to empower SMEs, cooperatives, International Commodity Bodies (ICBs), and other institutions, with a particular focus on women-led initiatives in agriculture.
The CFC's mission is to alleviate poverty and create sustainable livelihoods in commodity-dependent communities. The program emphasizes supporting the poorest and most vulnerable in global value chains, including production, processing, financing, marketing, and R&D. Successful applications should demonstrate tangible, sustainable impacts on low-income populations who depend on commodities, with a particular focus on female smallholders and women-led enterprises. The CFC is particularly interested in proposals from Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to maximize poverty alleviation in the developing world. In line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the CFC is committed to advancing gender equality, promoting climate action, and supporting resilient economies. The initiative also encourages innovative ideas that can drive impactful change within commodity value chains, including partnerships in agritech, agroforestry, agro-ecology, regenerative practices, renewable energy solutions, digital agriculture, climate-friendly practices, and advanced traceability.
