Welcome to the African Food Fellowship
We are a dynamic network of leaders working on radical change to transform food systems in Africa. We provide world class training, platforms, and networks to support collaborative action for healthy, inclusive, and sustainable food systems.
We are implemented by Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and Wasafiri Consulting with support from IKEA Foundation, Small Foundation, and GIZ on behalf of the German Government.
We were on the ground in Kigali for the Africa Food Festival, part of AFSF 2026 — five days of live cooking, culture, and music. Our Fellows showed up throughout, from the Rwanda Cohort 5 graduation to our booth in the exhibition tent all week. Here’s a look at what unfolded:
Food Systems Leadership Programme
Join our programme to gain essential knowledge and skills for food systems leaders. Learn from technical mentors, leadership coaches, and systems-change experts.
Country Networks
These are impact networks where food system leaders connect, learn, act, and belong. We curate the networks to elevate the collective leadership of Fellows during their journey towards food system transformation.
What are Food Systems Actions ?
Food systems actions help people across food systems to collaborate and adapt, driving positive and desired outcomes. Discover the features of food systems actions, and what they look like in practice.
Food Systems and Climate Change
Climate action is at the heart of food systems transformation in Africa. Discover how our Fellows are leading initiatives to cut agricultural waste, restore soils, boost indigenous knowledge, and build resilient food systems — while ending hunger and increasing farmers' livelihoods.
