Babban Gona is a high-impact, financially sustainable, and highly scalable agricultural social enterprise that is part-owned by the farmers we serve. In recognition of the impact it has achieved thus far, it is the first for-profit social enterprise in history and the first Nigerian organization to receive the prestigious Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship. The Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship is considered the equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize in the social entrepreneurship industry. We developed and grew the agricultural franchise model in partnership with Nestlé, DFID, AGRA, BMGF, Skoll, GIZ, USAID, the Mastercard Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, IFAD, Global Partnerships, and EDFI Agrifi, amongst others. We franchise thousands of mini farmer maize and rice cooperatives across Northern Nigeria using an innovative and internationally recognized agricultural franchise model. Through these franchises, Babban Gona has cost-effectively provided high-quality inputs.
