Who we are

Our vision

The AATI supports committed governments to drive inclusive and sustainable agricultural transformations by developing and enabling local delivery mechanisms to improve implementation of strategic agricultural initiatives with the final objective of alleviating poverty, promoting food security and strengthening climate resilience

Our Role

Our role is to act as a catalyst in positioning agriculture transformation as the primary driver of economic growth, job creation, and poverty alleviation in Africa. We contribute to sustainable agricultural interventions by enhancing systems and facilitating a wide range of partnerships and resources for the countries we support. Additionally, we participate in the design and testing of innovative tools essential for agricultural transformation.

Our values and guiding principles

Knowledge Sharing

We invest in knowledge building and dissemination to ensure shared responsibility for learning  and replicating what works. 

 

Digital Enablers

We leverage and/or develop suitable  digital tools to support lasting agricultural transformation. 

Empowering

We empower governments to lead, implement and sustain the change in their countries. We adopt a demand-driven approach to our interventions. We neither prescribe nor act on the countries behalf.

Evidence-based

We make decisions based on evidence and results, we consistently reflect on our successes & failures to learn from them.

 

Context-specific but replicable

We embrace a modular and iterative approach tailoring support to the local political, institutional & socio-economic context while ensuring replicability of the overall approach across countries.

Collaborative

We operate as one inclusive partnership, co-creating, sharing ownership and building on each member’s capabilities to go further together. 

Unifying

We adopt a unifying and non-territorial mindset towards other players and seek to build on existing capabilities and tools.

Smallholder farmers

We put smallholder farmer interest at the center of everything we do.

Gender/generational equity

We strive to create a gender and generation inclusive environment. 

Capacity Building

We enable the people driving the change through capability building and mentorship.
