TAGDev 101: Laying the Foundation for Change

Launched in 2016 at Gulu University (Uganda) and Egerton University (Kenya), the first phase of TAGDev strengthened the capacity of agricultural universities to address Africa’s most pressing development challenges. By integrating science, technology, business, and innovation, it empowered graduates and institutions to lead transformative change in rural agriculture.

During its first phase, TAGDev made significant strides, including:

  • Impacting over 350,000 farmers through knowledge transfer and innovative solutions.
  • Revising 25 academic programs to align with market and community needs.
  • Empowering thousands of young people with entrepreneurial skills and job opportunities.

Through this program, we are creating pathways for youth empowerment, economic growth, and sustainable development by focusing on inclusive, equitable, and climate-resilient agricultural practices. We aim to address critical challenges in agriculture and food security, while uplifting marginalized groups, including young women, refugees, displaced persons, and people with disabilities.
