Global AE Academy

GAE Mentor is the official mobile application designed for mentors of the Global Agri-Entrepreneurship Academy (GAEA), a global initiative led by Sustainable Agriculture Foundations International Association (SAFIA), International Finance Corporation (IFC), and Corteva. The initiative aims to empower agri-entrepreneurs with the knowledge, tools, and support required to transform agriculture and improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers worldwide.

The GAE Mentor app enables mentors to efficiently identify and onboard Agri-Entrepreneurs (AEs) and guide them through their entire empowerment journey. From training and incubation to assessment and continuous mentoring, the platform helps mentors track progress, document activities, and support entrepreneurs in building sustainable agricultural enterprises.

Key Features:

1. Agri-Entrepreneur Identification: Discover and onboard potential AEs within local communities.

2. Training & Incubation Monitoring: Track participation and progress across structured learning programs.

3. Assessment & Evaluation: Conduct periodic assessments to measure entrepreneurial and agricultural development.

4. Mentorship Tracking: Record mentoring sessions, guidance, and follow-ups for each AE.

5. Progress Monitoring: Maintain a centralized record of AE activities, milestones, and outcomes.

By streamlining the mentorship process, GAE Mentor supports the mission of GAEA to build a strong global network of agri-entrepreneurs capable of driving innovation, strengthening food systems, and uplifting rural communities.
