About Kilimo Corps Africa

Building agricultural capability and opportunity.

Kilimo Corps Africa is an African agricultural institution developing people, enterprises and ideas for prosperous and sustainable food systems.

Who we are

An African institution for agriculture and sustainable food systems

We build agricultural capability, enterprise and opportunity across Africa.

We develop agricultural leaders, strengthen agribusinesses, advance practical ideas and convene people committed to innovative, resilient and sustainable food systems.

Our conviction

Agricultural progress begins with capable people.

Farmers and young people are producers, entrepreneurs and decision-makers capable of improving their circumstances.

We connect knowledge to a credible next step—testing an idea, serving customers, building an agribusiness or improving the systems that shape opportunity.
