SDG 09 Industry Innovation & Infrastructure

Rethinking Agricultural Mechanisation in Sub-Saharan Africa

We examined the potential of agricultural mechanisation to increase food security while addressing financing barriers for smallholder farmers. Our analysis highlighted opportunities for accessible technologies and innovative financial models.

Recommendations included shared-use models, adapted small-scale machinery, and alternative financing such as warehouse receipts. By combining technology with financial innovation, we promoted inclusive and sustainable approaches to agricultural mechanisation.

Designing a Regional Migration Fund for the Horn of Africa

We assisted the German government and IGAD in designing a Regional Migration Fund to address displacement and migration challenges. Through consultations with communities and governments, we identified priorities in economic opportunities and inclusive infrastructure.

Our design study defined governance and operational frameworks, later validated in multi-stakeholder workshops. Formalised in an Aide Mémoire between IGAD and KfW, the Fund is now moving toward operationalisation.
