About AFI

Agriculture for Impact is an independent advocacy initiative led by Professor Sir Gordon Conway, based in the Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial College London, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

We are seeking increased and enhanced European government support for agricultural development in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Our aim is for improved alignment and technical focus of European support, and we are looking for gaps and opportunities for more effective partnerships.

We are calling for European leaders to move the debate beyond summit statements and political rhetoric, and focus on the practical implementation of their commitments to Africa.

With these objectives in mind, the team strives to focus on the needs of African stakeholders, particularly smallholder farmers. We work at local, national and multilateral levels throughout our work.
