Improving Grain sector Climate-Smart Awareness and decision-making
Nile Breweries Limited, a subsidiary of AB InBev, has sought to improve their supply chains of sorghum and barley through local
sourcing and sustainability commitments. This outcome story shares how Nile Breweries Limited leveraged the Guide to Assessing Climate Resilience in Smallholder Supply Chains, part of the USAID Feed the Future Learning Community for Supply
Chain Resilience, to further understand their climate risks and the possible interventions available to build resilience against climate change. This outcome story also highlights the challenge of private sector actors to justify resource use to combat climate
change and the complexity of working with smallholder farmers. This case was developed by the Sustainable Food Lab, in 2018
and draws from qualitative interviews with Nile Breweries and partner TechnoServe.
