What we do

Visioning & strategy operationalization

Our approach to visioning and strategy operationalization encompasses several critical components. First, we conduct sector-wide diagnostics, such as value chain analysis, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the agricultural landscape. This diagnostic process enables us to identify key areas of intervention and potential opportunities for growth. Next, we focus on the formulation, prioritization, planning, and review of national agricultural strategies.

By working closely with national governments and stakeholders, we ensure that these strategies are tailored to the unique needs and goals of each country. Additionally, we employ a top-down approach in formulating flagship priorities, which helps to align individual projects with the overarching strategic pillars. This ensures that all efforts are coordinated and contribute effectively to the broader vision of agricultural transformation and development. Through these efforts, we aim to create a cohesive and impactful strategy that drives sustainable agricultural growth and development.

Institutional support

Our approach to institutional support begins with a comprehensive diagnostic of the existing delivery infrastructure. This assessment helps identify strengths and areas for improvement, providing a foundation for designing and operationalizing effective institutional frameworks. We then focus on establishing robust Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) systems, performance management mechanisms, and data analytics tools to ensure continuous improvement and accountability. Resource mobilization is another critical aspect, as we secure the necessary funding and resources to run national delivery units effectively.

In addition to these structural components, we emphasize the importance of evidence-based policy-making to guide decision-making processes. By integrating digital capabilities and tools, we enhance the efficiency and reach of agricultural initiatives. Finally, we invest in developing leadership capabilities to ensure that those at the helm are equipped to drive and sustain transformative change. Through these multifaceted efforts, we aim to build strong, resilient institutions that can effectively support and sustain agricultural transformation.

Flagship implementation & delivery

Our flagship implementation and delivery approach begins with the development of a detailed implementation plan or roadmap for each flagship initiative. This plan outlines the strategic steps and milestones necessary to achieve the desired outcomes. We support the implementation process by rolling out frontline change agent training programs, ensuring that those directly involved are well-prepared and equipped with the necessary skills.

Coordination of stakeholders is crucial for successful implementation, and we facilitate this through activities such as Public-Private Partnership (PPP) roundtables, bringing together key players from various sectors. We also develop tailored approaches to financing mechanisms, ensuring that flagship initiatives have the financial backing needed for sustainable progress.

Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of sharing knowledge and methodologies to provide on-the-ground support. By disseminating best practices and lessons learned, we help ensure that implementation is effective and scalable. Through these comprehensive efforts, we aim to deliver impactful flagship initiatives that drive significant agricultural transformation and development.
