The AGriDI initiative empowers farmers, SMEs, and cooperatives in West Africa to adopt transformative digital technologies for agriculture. By bridging gaps between research, policy, and private sectors, it enhances digital literacy, strengthens innovation policies, and fosters sustainable agricultural growth.

AGriDI funds multiple innovative projects, such as digital market linkages, precision farming tools, and policy development initiatives, ensuring inclusivity for women and youth. Through capacity-building workshops, mentorship, and partnerships, AGriDI paves the way for a resilient and inclusive green economy in the region.
