This synthesis presents the results of a 10-year journey that IDRC and ACIAR have taken together in funding agricultural research to inform policy and help improve food and nutrition security in East and Southern Africa.
Across Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, CultiAF-supported innovations enhanced farmers’ resilience and incomes and provided consumers with higher quality and more accessible produce. In total, CultiAF funded 17 projects, which supported the development and testing of 53 innovations over two phases between 2013 and 2023.
