About African Food Changemakers

What We Believe?

We believe that small and medium-sized enterprises are the lifeblood of the food ecosystem in Africa. These enterprises are driven by visionary, dynamic and innovative entrepreneurs who operate as primary producers, aggregators, processors, distributors, finance and technology providers, chefs, cooks, consultants and innovators – We call them Changemakers.

Faced with the devastating impacts of climate change, global and local risks and shocks, and macro and micro-economic challenges, these entrepreneurs need funding, training, visibility, market linkages and a community of support to successfully scale their businesses. Through the Africa Food Changemakers (AFC) Hub, we enable African entrepreneurs to scale resilient and sustainable agribusinesses that nourish Africa and the world.

We also believe that connections made through food are a powerful way to change narratives. We are committed to changing global narratives about Africa by celebrating Africa’s contributions to the global food ecosystem, showcasing our innovations and cooking methods, amplifying and scaling proudly African food and beverage brands, and ensuring that more people globally experience the diversity and richness of the Continent’s gastronomic heritage and exciting future.
