Business Models
In order for us to achieve optimal impact in our work, we have developed a new approach to programme implementation: Business Models. Since we at FCI understand that business growth curves cannot be fixed within the life span of projects or programmes we use programmes and projects as business incubation platforms aimed at triggering viable enterprises at various levels of the value chain including smallholder commercial ventures at farm level.
Business model frameworks are developed using a step-wise approach with the target clienteles, business incubation and graduation pathway in mind. They are later implemented based on a highly interactive process. The business models are organic and keep growing based on the test, feedback, modification and added features that ensure adaptability to the specific market environment.

FCI has developed the nutri-dense model with defined nutrition needs to ensure that the micro and macro nutrients are incorporated in household diets. These cohorts include; Infants and children under 5 years, school going children, teenagers and young adults, pregnant and lactating mothers, Individuals with special needs such as diabetes, blood pressure, cancer HIV etc. and the rural and urban elderly. This is in view of the fact that, Nutrition watch has become important especially in contemporary Africa. This coupled with busy lifestyles, has compromised the dietary diversity among many African households with overdependence on energy-based diets mainly from processed foods thereby increasing health risks and not meeting the nutrition requirements for various important groups.
