AGRA and Its Work to Transform Agriculture
\nAGRA is an African-led institution that actively supports the drive towards inclusive agricultural transformation across the continent. We aspire to provide uniquely African solutions that respond to the challenges farmers face, leading to increased harvests, reduced hunger, and improved incomes for farming households. Our goal is to transform agriculture from a struggle to survive into profitable businesses.
\nEmployment opportunities
\nWorking in alignment with the development priorities of our focus countries, we enable farmers to access high-yielding seeds, gain better farming knowledge, and link to profitable markets. Through our work, we aspire to build the alliances, partnerships, and networks required to drive an inclusive agricultural transformation. We work with our partners to create an equitable, youth-friendly environment that harnesses the youth dividend on the continent to drive growth and facilitate open employment opportunities for young women.
\nKey Focus Areas<\/p>\n
Policy and state capability: We support governments in creating an enabling environment for private sector involvement in agricultural transformation.
\nSeed systems: We trigger higher productivity by increasing the availability and access to improved seeds by farmers, allowing them to increase their harvests for food security and better incomes.
\nSustainable farming: We support farmers in building resilient farming systems for sustained high yields through interventions such as mechanization and irrigation.
\nInclusive markets and trade: We work to increase the linkages between farmers and other market actors for a positive, sustained cycle of commercialization and reinvestment.<\/p>\n
