On October 15, 2024, the Chemiphar team, led by our CEO, Mr. Patrick Zikanga, had the privilege of hosting a delegation from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) for their final mission visit. This visit marked the conclusion of a highly impactful 5-year partnership that has played a crucial role in fostering growth and innovation at Chemiphar.
Throughout this collaborative journey, IFAD has been a key grant partner, offering support in several vital areas of our Business Development Services:
LIMS acquisition, training, and implementation: With IFAD’s assistance, we successfully implemented a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), optimizing our laboratory workflows and boosting overall efficiency.
Analyst training and upskilling: IFAD provided extensive training for our analysts on newly acquired technologies, ensuring our team remains at the forefront of industry practices and standards.
Digital transformation: Thanks to IFAD, we were able to digitalize key business operations and integrate them with a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, enhancing service delivery and client engagement.
Governance training: IFAD supported governance training for our senior management and board, equipping them with the tools needed to drive sustainable growth and strategic leadership at Chemiphar.
Finance and EFRIS integration: IFAD also facilitated the integration of our LIMS system with the Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing System (EFRIS), improving financial processes and ensuring regulatory compliance.
This 5-year partnership has empowered Chemiphar to advance in technology, governance, and operational excellence, enabling us to deliver top-tier services, uphold food safety and quality standards across the agricultural value chain, and meet international requirements.
Our CEO, Patrick Zikanga, expressed heartfelt gratitude to IFAD for their unwavering support, acknowledging their role as a key partner in our success. He emphasized our appreciation for the transformative journey we've shared and expressed eagerness to build on the achievements made throughout this impactful partnership.
