  • Maintaining the CRM system (Smartsheets) to track the pipeline, log discussions and update with notes from meetings with potential R&D applicants
  • Developing comprehensive mappings of key actors already operating or in the process of developing solutions related to targeted agricultural value chains to enhance the quality of the existing pipeline.
  • Facilitating registration and application process with potential R&D applicants on the SMART grants’ online platform.
  • Collecting and reviewing information from potential co-investment grantees to ensure strategic fit, market potential and cost-sharing ability.
  • Completing preliminary analysis and investment memos for projects and partners and provide recommendations for shortlisting.
