Africa\u2019s agriculture sits at a crossroads.
The continent has vast arable land, a rapidly growing population, and expanding consumer markets. Yet food systems continue to underperform. West Africa alone imports over US$40 billion in rice annually, despite its agricultural potential.
This is not a question of capacity alone. It is a question of systems.
At ACBF, we work to address this gap by strengthening the human, institutional, and market systems that determine whether agribusiness can scale and whether countries can achieve food sovereignty.
Our work contributes directly to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and Agenda 2063\u2019s vision for resilient, self-sustaining food systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across Africa, agribusiness actors operate within systems that constrain growth.
Limited access to finance, weak market linkages, gaps in technical and entrepreneurial capacity, and high post-harvest losses continue to limit value creation. Many enterprises, particularly those led by women and youth, who represent up to 80% of the agricultural workforce, struggle to move beyond subsistence or small-scale operations.
At the same time, climate variability is increasing risk and uncertainty, further exposing the fragility of existing systems.
These challenges are interconnected.
And they cannot be addressed in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ACBF\u2019s Agribusiness and Food Sovereignty program addresses these constraints through targeted investment in people, institutions, and ecosystems. We focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This approach moves beyond individual capacity building to enable enterprise resilience, market integration, and system-level transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our work is anchored in the 5A Implementation Framework, a structured methodology that enables countries and institutions to move from fragmented interventions to coordinated action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This framework ensures that interventions are not only effective, but sustainable and scalable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across West and Central Africa, the program is delivering measurable results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond enterprise support, ACBF is also investing in system-wide enablers. In 2024, the Foundation committed US$800,000<\/strong> to livestock research (WAAVP-AN), supporting 10 research<\/strong> projects across 6<\/strong> countries, including Benin, Botswana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya,<\/strong> and South Africa<\/strong>, to strengthen veterinary capacity and address animal health constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This work is about more than improving productivity. In doing so, ACBF supports a shift from fragmented agricultural systems to integrated, resilient, and self-sustaining food systems across Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join us in building the systems that will shape Africa\u2019s food future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2807,"template":"","class_list":["post-2765","impacting_africa","type-impacting_africa","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theacbf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/impacting_africa\/2765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theacbf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/impacting_africa"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theacbf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/impacting_africa"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theacbf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theacbf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Beyond agribusiness: advancing food sovereignty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
