Indalo Inclusive South Africa NPC in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has launched the Indalopreneur Food Waste and Loss Enterprise Support and Grant Programme.

The Indalopreneur Food Waste and Loss Enterprise Support and Grant Programme aims to support new business ideas and emerging businesses in Food Waste, based

in the OR Tambo, eThekwini, and Waterberg municipalities, by engaging with and supporting the local innovation ecosystem to explore, test and scale grassroots solutions.

The purpose of this project is to enhance cooperative governance, through the implementation of circular economy interventions, to address food insecurity and sustainable consumption, as well as to build back greener in response to the impacts of Covid-19.

This will be done through a multisectoral partnership with the private sector, government, and civil society organisations, and will be implemented in three local municipalities (OR Tambo, Waterberg, and eThekwini) as part of the District Development Model. Enterprise support will be provided through business exposure workshops, participation in the 2- month Indalovator incubation programme, and access to grant funding for the creation of replicable and scalable minimal viable products (MVPs).

The programme aims to:

• Identify and scale innovative solutions in Food Waste and Loss
• Provide limited but targeted financial support to emerging entrepreneurs in the Food Waste and Loss sub-sector
• Empower youth and women- led SMME’s
