Africa’s agricultural transformation will be driven not by isolated efforts, but by co-created, well-aligned alliances that turn evidence into impact and ambition into action. This is a key highlight of the 8th session of the ANAPRI Stakeholders Conference. The session brought together stakeholders to reflect on how collaboration, rather than competition, can accelerate progress. Discussions highlighted complementary strengths across policy analysis, soil health, data systems, farmer-focused initiatives, and investment mobilisation.
