Our Projects

To jumpstart AGCommons, 5 “quick win” projects were identified and implemented to deliver needed solutions immediately and provide an internal learning opportunity for the Program proponents. These projects were selected because they build on existing work, will deliver measurable impacts within a year, and offer potential for scaling up benefits to farmers in the future. For example, developing a data set now would allow specific applications to be built for later use.

The selected quick-win projects (see below), which have now been completed, cover a range of technologies and African countries and regions. They also span a variety of different links with end-users – from direct work with farmers (the “Seeing Is Believing” project) to collaboration at the research level to create access to valuable data sets that can be used on the farmers’ behalf (the “Africa Trial Sites Catalogue”).

The Final Report Executive Summary  of each project is available for download at  the project’s pages.
