For 13 weeks, 11 brilliant young Africans have been learning, growing, and stepping into their future as leaders in agriculture and development.

From powerful sessions on leadership, teamwork, and project management to an inspiring field visit at IITA Abuja, this cohort showed up with curiosity, passion, and a genuine commitment to making a difference every single week.

Guided by 10 incredible facilitators and mentors, they gained more than skills; they gained confidence, clarity, and a deeper understanding of what meaningful impact looks like.

We are especially proud that 75% of this cohort were young women, a powerful reminder that when women are empowered, communities thrive.

The 2025 cohort closed out on October 31st with capstone presentations and a graduation celebration.

Swipe through to relive their journey, the learning moments, the teamwork, and the breakthroughs that shaped their growth.

We are proud of their achievements and excited about the next cohort. We are also open to partnering with organisations that share our vision of empowering young Africans for lasting impact.

A new cohort is coming next year.

Stay tuned — you do not want to miss it.

Did you know that women make up nearly 43% of the agricultural workforce, yet many face violence and systemic barriers that limit their potential?

Gender-based violence in agriculture affects not just women, but families, food systems, and entire communities.

It’s amazing how much you learn when you step into the heart of a community’s livelihood.👌

Earlier this week, our team joined the Netherlands Delegation led by Ronald Sonnemans, Deputy Head of Mission and accompanied by Inge Tenniglo, Oluwaseun Ojambati, Foluso Adejoro, and Hon. Samson Bugama, Commissioner for Agriculture, Plateau State, on a visit to the Maikatako potato market in Bokkos LGA.

We observed the local potato seed market, evaluated seed quality, and assessed access among potato farmers, gaining firsthand insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping their work.

The day ended with a warm courtesy visit to Governor Caleb Mutfwang, who shared lessons from his recent trip to the Netherlands and discussed ways to grow potato production and create opportunities across the value chain.

Seeing the market, meeting farmers, and connecting with leadership reinforced one thing: lasting impact begins with understanding the real stories on the ground.📌

It’s been almost a week since the Sahel Food Systems Changemakers Conference 2025, but the energy in that room still feels fresh. 💚

From the moment changemakers arrived, you could sense something special; genuine excitement, warm conversations, and a shared belief that Africa’s food future can and must be different.

Every question asked, every story shared, every thoughtful exchange reminded us that designing for legacy is about people.👌

The conversations didn’t end in the hall; they’ve sparked actions, connections, and a renewed commitment to building food systems that endure.

Three voices. One vision.

Together, they remind us that change begins when leaders, communities, and systems move in the same direction; towards a future that's self-sustaining and inclusive.

However, legacy isn't built by words alone, it starts with what we do next.👌

What will you be doing in your own capacity to design legacy?💭
