Agriculture and Food Security

Strengthening agricultural and food systems to drive productivity, resilience, sustainability, and inclusive economic growth.

Agriculture underpins livelihoods, growth, and food security across Africa, yet fragmented value chains, weak enabling policy, climate risk, and thin evidence constrain the systems supporting it.
Dev-Afrique works across this ecosystem with governments, development partners, foundations, financial institutions, and agribusinesses. Combining policy analysis, market systems development, geospatial analytics, and evaluation, the practice diagnoses systemic constraints, generates evidence partners can act on, and designs interventions that hold at scale, building agricultural systems that are more productive, resilient, and inclusive

Projects & Impact (Selected work)

Hybrid Sorghum and Millet Systems Assessment

Dev-Afrique is conducting a rapid assessment of the sorghum and millet sectors in Nigeria and Senegal to identify key constraints and opportunities across seed systems, production, markets, and policy. The study will generate evidence-based recommendations to strengthen value chains, improve productivity, and inform future investments in resilient and inclusive food systems. 

AGX

Dev-Afrique provides strategic research, policy analysis, stakeholder engagement, and evidence generation to support AGX’s work on agricultural transformation across Africa. Our support includes technical research, convening diverse stakeholders, synthesising insights, and developing practical recommendations that inform policy, strengthen partnerships, and accelerate the adoption of innovative agricultural solutions.

Cassava Value Chain (Nigeria)

Built an investment analysis and financial model, with a phased roadmap to strengthen the cassava value chain and support rural jobs and incomes.
