The Anton Jurgens Fonds funds innovative projects in West Africa focussed on the creation of income for families in rural areas within the context of Agricultural Development. We partner with organisations that improve farmers’ livelihoods in West Africa. Our focus is on initiatives that aim to help farmers sell their produce by increasing productivity and facilitating access to markets, secure better prices for produce and help achieve higher sales levels for farmers by improving the value chain, support farmers in long-term coordination of activities. Not to be confused with the UK-based Anton Jurgens Charitable Trust.
