Africa Food System Forum Legacy Flagship (AFSF Legacy Flagship) Programmes are long-term, country-led agricultural transformation initiatives designed to turn national food systems priorities into bankable, analytics-backed investment opportunities. Unlike Deal Rooms, Legacy Programmes are distinguished by AGRA's deep analytical support, including investment modelling, Return on Investment (ROI) projections, risk diagnostics, and market assessments that help countries and investors confidently commit to action

By embedding AGRA's technical expertise into national investment strategies, Legacy Programmes bridge the gap between policy ambition and on-the-ground implementation. They ensure that investments are not only financially viable but also socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable, driving long-term resilience and economic growth across Africa's food systems.

With Africa's food import bill projected to reach $110 billion annually by 2030, the urgency for transformative action has never been greater. Amplifying Legacy Programmes now will unlock capital at scale, de-risk private sector participation, and accelerate the continent's journey toward food sovereignty, creating millions of jobs and ensuring stable food supplies for future generations.
