Small Farms, Big Futures
FIPS Africa’s strategy charts a bold path to strengthen the resilience, productivity, and economic opportunities of smallholder farmers across Sub-Saharan Africa. It responds to a rapidly changing landscape of climate shocks, rising food imports, youth underemployment, and shifting donor priorities, positioning FIPS to deliver greater scale and impact. The strategy focuses on three priorities:
Transforming farm-level livelihoods through frugal, climate-smart technologies, improved soil health, and stronger advisory services via the Village-Based Advisor model.
Strengthening agricultural systems by improving markets, expanding pluralistic extension, and building strong partnerships with governments, research institutions, and the private sector.
Powering innovation and learning through practical research, field experimentation, digital extension, and evidence-led decisions.
We are delivering this vision through approaches proven over 20 years: deep community presence, co-creation, rapid adaptation to shocks, and low-cost, scalable models rooted in local ownership.
