AgrGROW is a partnership between agro-High Education Institutions (HEI) in Malawi (MW), Uganda (UG), Denmark (DK), Finland (FIN) and the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) for transformation of agro- entrepreneurship (agropreneurship) education. Based on the experiences of the consortia members, research done in partner HEIs and confirmed by the literature findings and policy documents, the lack of entrepreneurial mind-set hinders graduates` employability and prevents their capacity to employ or become entrepreneurs themselves.
AgrGROW seeks to reposition MW and UG HEIs to be transformational actors in creating a generation of graduates who can start and grow climate-smart agribusinesses, especially female graduates. This will impactfully address climate change concerns, as well as economic issues related to the underdevelopment of the agricultural sector and youth unemployment. This improved capacity will allow the project`s impact to accelerate sustainably after project completion, especially because of the creation of HEI and agri-stakeholder networks
