SUSTAINABLE AGRIPRENUERSHIP NETWORK
FOR WORKING PROFESSIONALS IN AFRICA

Our Set-up

Learn more about how SANEWOPA is structured

SANEWOPA has a dual prong structure. On one hand, you have national chapters which are set up as member-based organizations. In Malawi, the national chapter is registered as a company limited by guarantee. National chapters are at the engine of SANEWOPA’s Mission, they serve as a collective platform for side-hustle farmers, enabling them to leverage knowledge networks and linkages with private and public sector partners.

On the other hand, you have SANEWOPA Continental which focuses on helping establish and grow national chapters. As the network grows, SANEWOPA Continental will serves as a Secretariat office, facilitating coordination across national chapters while championing the collective voices of side hustle farmers on the global stage.

Our Framework

Learn more about the sustainable agriprenuership framework that guides our work

SANEWOPA’s work is built around our sustainable agripreneurship framework illustrated below. We seek to promote a holistic approach to agripreneurship which factors in the environmental, economic and social aspects of farming to ensure sustainability. This is underpinned by an integrated approach to risk management to ensure resilience of agripreneurship systems.

Our Model

Learn more about our pathways towards sustainable agriprenuership

As illustrated below, SANEWOPA’s model is designed to help working professionals who do farming on the side transition to become commercial farmers through capacity building, facilitating linkages, developing risk management strategies and engaging in research and policy advocacy to give them a voice. Their growth is expected to enhance rural employment, food security and the resilience of farming systems in Africa.
