Job Summary: The Innovative Finance Partnerships Manager will lead the Green Value for Growth (GV4G) access to finance (A2F) activities. The role will focus on developing partnerships with financial institutions, development finance institutions (DFIs), impact investors, and private sector actors to increase financing for small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), cooperatives, farmers, and value chain enterprises.
The manager will support the design and deployment of innovative finance instruments, blended finance structures, guarantee-backed lending mechanisms, and investment readiness initiatives aligned with the needs of agri-SMEs and farmers in Mozambique as well as the interests and mandates of targeted investor partners.
Program Overview: GV4G is a five-year European Union (EU) Global Gateway initiative supporting Mozambique to build a greener, more competitive, and climate-resilient agribusiness sector. The program focuses on transforming the soy, cashew, and coffee value chains in Central and Northern Mozambique through private-sector–led investment, regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, expanded local processing, and stronger market systems. By 2031, GV4G aims to mobilize approximately €26.8 million in public and private investment and benefit more than 44,000 farmers, enterprises, and commercial farm businesses while strengthening compliance with EU market requirements.
Using a market systems-based approach, GV4G integrates landscape restoration, value chain upgrading, enterprise development, and policy reform to create sustainable and inclusive economic growth. The programme strengthens production systems through climate-smart practices and digital tools, expands A2F and business development services for SMEs—particularly those led by women and youth—and improves the enabling environment for green investment and trade.
GV4G is executed by a consortium and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) serves as the EU’s delegated implementing partner for this Action.
