Our strategic approach for 2023–2027

In our 2023–2027 strategy period, we are intensifying our contribution to AR4D and expanding our scope to focus more on agrifood systems. This phase builds on our 15-year experience and learnings to consolidate our gains, emphasizing gender responsiveness solutions as a critical lever for change.

This strategy is based on an approach that guided our previous strategy phase, anchored on the three pillars underpinning the execution of our mission. While each pillar has its own set of outcomes, the three are highly interdependent, and together, they form a singular comprehensive strategic approach.

Our Vision and Mission

We envisage gender-responsive solutions that will catalyze equitable agrifood systems for African women and men smallholders.

Vision

Gender-responsive agricultural research for development driving equitable agrifood systems.

Mission

Catalyzing positive change in agricultural research for development by building a pipeline of intergenerational women in leadership, equipping AR4D professionals and institutions to integrate gender in policies and practices, and influencing the enabling environment to enhance gender responsiveness.
