The CAAPS also intends to provide over 8 million job opportunities within the crop and livestock value chains. The transboundary dimension of the CAAPs presents vast potential for developing cross-border market linkages to connect all agro-park initiatives to respond to Africa’s food gap, which is presently filled largely by imports.The CAAPs initiative has already received USD 0.5 million in seed capital from Afreximbank and is looking for more investment at the upcoming investors' forum.
