About Leadership for Agriculture (L4Ag):
Leadership for Agriculture (L4Ag) is an African ministerial-level peer-to-peer learning platform led by the African Development Bank, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, its main financiers, with Emerge Centre for Innovations - Africa (ECI-Africa) as process facilitator. L4Ag's goal is to promote strategic engagements and policy actions among African ministers for agriculture and food security, livestock, economy, fisheries and finance, the private sector, and other stakeholders, to increase their commitments to investing in agriculture and food systems and boosting agricultural productivity. The key outcomes of this initiative are to increase funding for countries in the agriculture sector, and to design and execute efficient agriculture programs in African countries.
