However, addressing data gaps to inform decision making for the multiple stakeholders within the agri-business landscape remains a key challenge. Unlocking agriculture\u2019s full potential requires innovative, data-driven solutions and increased private sector involvement. Recognizing this imperative, the Strathmore Agri-Food Innovation Center (SAFIC) aims to lead the transformation of food systems in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At its core, SAFIC is committed to co-designing evidence-based interventions that foster sustainable agricultural growth and innovation. This commitment extends to both the national government, county government, private sector and development partners. Through its data-driven approach, SAFIC seeks to enhance visibility throughout the entire agricultural value chain, spanning from production to market distribution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Central to SAFIC\u2019s mission is the establishment of a Community of Practice (COP) on Agri Markets Data for Investment &amp; Growth (AMDIG). This collaborative platform will serve as a platform that facilitates knowledge sharing on data insights. Additionally, AMDIG not only aims to facilitate the mapping of investments and assessments at various levels but also to foster partnerships among stakeholders in government, private sector, producers, research institutions and development partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The launch event of SAFIC and the AMDIG COP holds profound significance where stakeholders will converge to co-develop\u00a0 solutions, exchange best practices, and chart a path towards sustainable inclusive agricultural transformation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By showcasing successful data-driven initiatives and outlining SAFIC\u2019s role in facilitating collaborative action, this event sets the stage for catalytic private sector-led growth, innovation, and the promotion of resilient food systems in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":37880,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[25],"class_list":["post-37875","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-events","cat_events"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.2.1 (Yoast SEO v27.8) -
