Africa holds the key to its own food security, but sovereignty requires structural change.
Transforming agribusiness means looking beyond raw output to strengthen three critical levers: localized processing, seamless intra-continental trade and climate-resilient infrastructure.
Technology is a means, not the end. Development is.
Across Africa, digital transformation is expanding access to services and opportunities. But lasting progress depends on systems that are open, trusted and inclusive.

Progress needs people willing to step forward.
This Mashujaa Day, we celebrate the courage, service and determination of those who continue to create opportunities, challenge the status quo and shape a better future for others.
Happy Mashujaa Day!

AI in African classrooms isn’t just about technology. It’s about readiness: infrastructure, teacher capacity and equitable access.
Through Elimu-Soko, we’re exploring how education systems can turn AI’s potential into meaningful learning for African learners.
Africa holds over 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land. Turning this potential into food sovereignty means investing in local innovation, smallholders and homegrown value chains.

A healthy nation is built through more than healthcare facilities and medical interventions.
It depends on the systems around people.
How health is financed, how services are accessed, how data informs decisions, how communities are reached and how effectively policy translates into action.
The opportunity for Africa is to build health systems that are not only responsive to illness, but designed around prevention, resilience and wellbeing.
Because healthier people make stronger societies.

Nature is more than what surrounds us. It is part of the systems that sustain our economies, communities and futures.
This Mazingira Day, we’re reflecting on what becomes possible when protecting nature goes hand in hand with creating opportunity.
Through one of our initiatives BIRA, we support nature-positive enterprises working to restore ecosystems, build resilience and unlock sustainable growth across Africa.
Happy Mazingira Day !

What will it take to turn Kenya’s childcare commitments into action?
At the Pan-African Dialogue @CSHannaCheptumo outlined 5 priorities for strengthening childcare for children aged 0–4 from regulation and the workforce to county delivery, data and sustainable financing.
“Quality childcare is not merely a service to families. It is essential social and economic infrastructure.” — Hon. @CSHannaCheptumo CS, Gender, Culture & Children Services, Kenya
The conversation focused on what implementation requires: stronger regulation, data, workforce development, county delivery and sustainable financing.
We look forward to continuing the work with government and partners to turn this momentum into action.
