Recent years have witnessed an uptick in global investment targeting Africa’s #agrifood sector, recognizing its potential as a hub of opportunity. Many development organizations and #impactinvestors are actively building funds to catalyze investments and deliver climate- and nature-positive outcomes in the sector. However, the project pipeline is constrained, and the available data and capacity for #climaterisk and #impactassessment are limited. In response to these evolving needs, the CLIC Agrifood Investment Connector and CGIAR Hub for Sustainable Finance (ImpactSF) formed a strategic alliance in the context of the Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) earlier this year. The teams assessed the climate and nature-related risks and impacts of eight #agribusinesses operating in Sub-Saharan Africa, in preparation for a showcase at a dedicated dealroom session with AGRA at the AFS Forum in Tanzania.

What an eventful day it was. As one of the 17 judges (Plus a Chief Judge) we were tasked with huge responsibility to select the top innovator of the AgYouth and Tech AYuTe Africa challenge 2024 of Heifer International The top 5 finalists convinced the judges on how they have the best solutions that address the pressing challenges faced by smallholder farmers. Their solutions ranged from market access (Agri Farmer's Market), Uber like digital extension (Extension Africa); post harvest technologies (Silo Africa), mechanization (Agri Adopter) to biofertilizers (Thur Biotech). It was encouraging to see how Heifer is deliberate and intentional about investing in those solutions that specifically reaching that last mile. It was also interesting to see hundreds of youth who chose agriculture as their career of choice and continue to think outside the box 📦 to be part of the solutions. One of the major highlights was how robust and rigorous the selection process was. Led by the Chief Judge (very experienced I must say); the 17 judges had to first take open oath. An auditing firm provided oversight to ensure free, fair and transparent process. Well done to the Heifer Africa team and the Innovators Cherry 🍒 on top was that Rwanda 🇷🇼 Kigali was just the perfect host country #PERFECTOpportunities #AYuTe2024
