Applying for an aBi Grant

The aBi Grant Management System (GMS) is an end-to-end system that allows an agribusiness or implementing partner to submit a concept note, apply for a grant and ultimately then manage their aBi project using Financial and M&E tools within the GMS. The system is also used as a single data and document repository point to be accessed by both the grantees and aBi staff, for all project documentation.

See flow chart detailing the required steps for applying for an aBi Grant:
