AgriFin has spent more than a decade brokering partnerships with banks, MNOs, agtech firms, and government platforms to deliver bundled digital products and services to smallholder farmers — with a goal of improving farmer productivity and income by 50% and reaching women and youth at scale. The ID insight ADF2 Program Impact Modeling Report (March 2026), drawing on data from over 6,500 farmers across 26 partners in Kenya, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, now gives us the evidence to move from learning to deciding.

Three findings from the evidence stand out as the clearest opportunities for the next generation of partnerships. We know that sustained, practice-changing engagement — not just access — is what drives impact, and we now have enough evidence to design it deliberately. We know that financially anchored, bundled services through hybrid agent-digital models work, and work consistently. And we know that sustainable delivery models are achievable — the question is how we design TA and funding structures to make them the norm, not the exception.

This session is where that evidence meets decision-making. Drawing on presentations from IDinsight and the Gates Foundation, and through structured group discussion organised by sector, participants will examine what the results demand of partnership design, TA investment, and cost-to-serve models — and leave with concrete positions on what must change next.

Guiding Questions
Which bundled products, and services, and partnership structures delivered the strongest farmer outcomes for men and women farmers, and sustainable unit economics — and what made the difference?
What should be retired, iterated, or doubled down on in future partnerships with MNOs, banks, agtechs, and governments? Which TA services are not delivering contextual relevance or sustainable change at the ecosystem level?
