USAID Zambia Enterprise Development and Growth Enhanced (EDGE) ActivityThe USAID Zambia Enterprise Development and Growth Enhanced (EDGE) Activity is a five-year $14.5 million activity that aims to create jobs and increase the profitability of small-and-medium sized agricultural enterprises (SMEs) in Zambia. To achieve this aim, the Activity will improve the SMEs’ competitiveness and access to finance. Many of these SMEs currently struggle to access financing, often lack business management skills and technology or have limited access to markets.Over the next five years, ACDI/VOCA will boost their competitiveness by addressing these constraints. The Activity will use a facilitative approach and work closely with and through local partners to drive lasting systemic changes that create sustainable impact at scale. ACDI/VOCA will also apply its inclusive market systems approach, which addresses the root causes, rather than the symptoms, of a poorly performing market
