Agricultural entrepreneurship (agropreneurship) is critically important in Malawi and Uganda for two reason. First the production and processing of agriculture-based products and services has untapped potential for development in addressing the job creation crises. Secondly, circular economy-based agropreneurship is a key leverage point for the global climate change challenge. In particular, agropreneurs can develop next-generation opportunities to address these challenges in novel way. However, Malawian and Ugandan, like other Sub-Saharan (SSA) HEI graduates lack the 21st century key competencies needed to think systematically, act entrepreneurially and to be expert in the climate-smart agriculture. Problem-based learning (PBL) is a powerful research-based methodology that HAMK and UCPH have extensively used in international development effort. PBL integrates the complexity of real-world problems into curricula implementation, and this helps students to create problem solving and critical thinking skills upon which the entrepreneurship decision making rests. AgrGROW capacitates HEIs in student-centered learning, in network-based learning ecosystem building and in practices of climate-smart agropreneurship. AgrGROW undertakes PBL- and climate-smart agropreneurship trainings and the methodology is piloted and contextualized through students online and field works. Each HEI will take a specific role: HAMK and UCPH facilitate methodology, climate-smart agropreneurship and institutional capacity building and RUFORUM leads the quality process. Malawian and Ugandan HEIs participate AgrGROW with their expertise and defined objectives. The project deliverables, information kits of PBL-based curricula revisions, teacher trainings and collaborative learning ecosystem building are all done together. RUFORUM’s PBL-expert teacher network is strengthened when new trained members join it for peer support and further development of the curricula and methods. All HEIs participatxxx
