Plan and mobilize
Step 3 turns strategies into SDG-primed, investment-ready actions by aligning partnerships, embedding innovation, mobilizing blended finance, and enabling scale and learning.
🌍 Why Step 3 matters:
Step 3 ensures that strategies do not remain on paper, becoming financeable, implementable and scalable solutions embedded in real systems. This step transforms strategies into structured, investment-ready project portfolios
The ASTA facilitation project provides short-term, strategic support to unlock implementation. It helps coordinate stakeholders, activate partnerships, and mobilize initial resources needed to move from planning to action. By reducing early-stage risks and strengthening alignment across actors, it creates the conditions for investment-ready solutions to be launched, tested, and scaled within the broader agrifood system.
Clear implementation arrangements are established with defined responsibilities and capacities.
Ideas are structured into a portfolio of investment-ready innovations that can attract funding and scale.
ASTA supports the design of financing structures that combine public and private capital.
