A Stronger African voice in the Continent’s
Agricultural Transformation

The African Agricultural Leadership Institute (AALI) is an independent, non-profit international entity that provides an African perspective and voice to the diverse services required to accelerate Africa’s agricultural transformation, particularly among its political leadership, and for its women and youth beneficiaries.

AALI aims to shift the leadership of African agricultural development to the growing ranks of senior African agricultural professionals who share the insights and perspectives and the voice required to address the Continent’s many challenges.

AALI envisions a vibrant and bold African leadership, supported by experienced African Agricultural Professionals.

The vision of AALI involves “Advancing Leadership in African Agricultural Transformation”

This vision demands that agriculture be viewed as a business that attracts the private sector and investment from governments and development banks to stimulate and modernize its advancement. This approach contrasts with the existing situation where agriculture appears a neglected sector with insufficient budget allocation from governments, and largely dependent on the donor community priorities and funding.

Leaders of African governments become more confident that they can access reliable advice and solutions from AALI necessary to improve agricultural production and meet critical development agendas

Genuine commitment of Government Officials to Agriculture

Commitment to agriculture by government officials becomes more genuine and the abilities of national governments to chart their food systems performance and agro-ecosystem resilience improve over time.
