Overview
AfricaFertilizer.org (AFO) is an initiative led by the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) which began activities in 2010. The AFO Initiative implements activities across the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) region with current support and funding from the International Fertilizer Association (IFA) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF). Key technical partners include the Africa Fertilizer and Agribusiness Partnership (AFAP), Development Gateway (through the BMGF VIFAA Project), Wallace & Associates, and the Africa Union Commission (AUC).
AFO’s Vision is to be the leading provider of fertilizer data and information for Africa to support market transparency, improved decision making, and a more prosperous agriculture sector. AFO’s Mission is to be the provider of reliable, high-quality, unbiased data and information on fertilizer and soil fertility issues in Africa. In order to accomplish this, AFO is progressively working to develop, manage, facilitate and share technical and market information on fertilizers in Africa to support the implementation of continental, regional and national agricultural policies and regulations that benefit both the public and private sector, including smallholder farmers and agro-dealers. AFO is expected to play a lead role in data and advocacy leading up to and following the anticipated African Soil Health Summit in 2022.
In 2019, a strategic plan was completed that has created a road map for AFO to strengthen its capacity and visibility to capitalize on the growing demand for fertilizer market information in public and private sectors. Within IFDC, AFO is being elevated to a strategic initiative with an expanded budget and targeting of new donors and partners to expand its reach and mandate. Critical investments are being made into its capacity, systems and processes to enable AFO to capitalize on its potential. In addition, the former AFO Coordinator position is being elevated to “Program Manager”.
AFO now seeks a dynamic, entrepreneurial fertilizer market expert to serve as Program Manager for this new phase of AFO’s growth.
