    African Green Revolution Forum

    The AGRF is considered the world’s most important and impactful forum for African agriculture, pulling together stakeholders in the agricultural landscape to take practical actions and share lessons that will move African agriculture forward.
     
    AGRF is an alliance of partners that care about, commit to and drive inclusive agricultural transformation in Africa. Currently, these 22 partners include: African Development Bank (AfDB), African Fertilizer and Agribusiness Partnership (AFAP), Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), African Union, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, CGIAR, Corteva Agriscience, Technical Center for Agriculture and Rural Cooperation (CTA), Department for International Development, UK (DfID), Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), IDH the Sustainable Trade Initiative, Grow Africa -a Centre of Excellence of the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), International Development Research Centre (IDRC), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), MasterCard Foundation, OCP Africa Group, Rockefeller Foundation, Southern African Confederation of Agricultural Unions (SACAU), Syngenta, UPL, USAID, and Yara International ASA.
    The AGRF Secretariat is hosted by the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), itself a member and an African-led institution focused on putting farmers at the center of our continent’s growing economies.
     
     
    The Forum was hosted by Heads of State in Tanzania in 2012, in Mozambique in 2013, in Ethiopia in 2014, and in Zambia in 2015. The Forum and its momentum have grown considerably over these years, and the AGRF 2016 in Kenya under the leadership of H.E. President Kenyatta attracted more than 2,500 delegates and resulted in commitments of more than US $30 billion dollars to support the continent in investments to increase production, income, and employment for smallholder farmers and local African agriculture businesses over the next ten years. The AGRF 2017 in Cote d’Ivoire under the leadership of H.E. President Ouattara looked at how governments, private sector, and partners were coming through on the 2016 commitments made in Nairobi. It was attended by 1,500 delegates and it had a new set of commitments and partnerships, including close to US $6.5 billion worth of deals in palm oil, pulses, potato, and rice – mainly in West Africa by the private sector. The AGRF 2018, hosted by the President of Rwanda and 2018 Chairperson of the African Union, the H.E. Paul Kagame, in Kigali from 5 to 8 September 2018,  brought together over 2,800 delegates from 79 countries with a resounding mission to transform agriculture in Africa. A key feature was taking leadership in agriculture to a new level, both to benefit the millions of smallholders who earn their livelihood from small-scale farms, and to build the economies that make up the African continent.
