GanzAfrica is a human capital development organisation strengthening support for the next generation of agri-food systems leaders. GanzAfrica’s goal is to address critical issues for inclusive agri-food systems transformation across Africa. It drives the development of resilient food systems through its fellowship programme, accelerating the personal and professional development of young professionals through targeted training, work placement and mentorship. 

Small Foundation first supported GanzAfrica through a one-year partnership to establish an Alumni Network to connect the fellows for life-long collaboration. This included the development of network infrastructure, identifying a network coordinator, convening members, and building linkages with policymakers through meetings, workshops and networking events.

Small Foundation is currently supporting GanzAfrica through a three-year partnership to deepen the work of its Alumni Network and support deeper coordination, collaboration and innovation within Rwanda’s food systems. This includes strengthening member engagement through convenings, working groups and a digital platform for knowledge exchange, as well as a Challenge Fund to seed member-led initiatives.
