The Agripreneurship Alliance Annual Report, February 2018
The Agripreneurship Alliance
The Agripreneurship Alliance was founded after two years of research following the Planting Seeds for the Future of Food conference (Switzerland, 2015) at which Dr. Nteranya Sanginga (IITA) introduced their Youth Agripreneur Programme (YAP). The YAP has inspired the development of the concept of ‘Agripreneurship’ which has led to the strategic interest of the African Union and the African Development Bank. The research identified the need to improve business curricula in the context of African agri-food within tertiary level training and university programmes. To meet this need, the Agripreneurship Alliance was launched in August 2017 as a Swiss based non-profit Association. The Alliance is working with a range of partners in the business, academic and non-profit sectors across Europe and Africa to develop culturally appropriate and contextually accurate courses and resources, using cloud-based blended learning approaches, to support the growth of new agri-food businesses led by creative and dynamic young Africans.

 The Lasting Impact report demonstrates why and how investors attempt to safeguard the continuity of their investments’ impact beyond exit. The report draws on insights from interviews with over 30 investors and entrepreneurs and outlines practical approaches to achieving responsible exits. Four case studies provide in-depth examples of responsible exits from impact investments.

 The purpose of the Beyond the Binary project is to understand and articulate why corporate venturing should matter to corporations and how they might deploy their underutilized capital in pursuit of both profit and purpose. This will involve a deeper understanding of why some companies are holding this cash while others are spending it. It also involves telling the stories of those businesses who are successfully unlocking cash reserves by sharing first-hand accounts, through video interviews with the CV practitioners themselves. Ultimately, this project aims to create long-term impact by inspiring more corporations to allocate more of their capital towards corporate venturing activities which align with the SDGs.
