AL for Agribusiness Network
African Leadership Academy’s AL for Agribusiness Network (ALAN) is a network that supports and develops young leaders who will contribute to the transformation of the agriculture sector across Africa. ALAN supports young African leaders in the agribusiness space to develop their leadership skills, collaborate together around projects of shared interest, and explore internship and employment opportunities through engagement with the African agribusiness sector. ALAN organises this work through a network approach.
Small Foundation initially partnered with ALAN in 2020 to 2023 to support the early stage development of the network.
In 2024, Small Foundation renewed its support through a four-year partnership that will continue to support the operations of ALAN.
