About Kilimokwanza.org
Where Africa’s Agricultural Future Is Being Written
East Africa’s most-read agricultural development platform — where policy meets practice, and the people, enterprises, and ideas transforming Africa’s food systems come together.
Agriculture First. Africa Always.
Kilimo Kwanza — Swahili for “Agriculture First” — is more than a name. It is a declaration. Coined as a landmark national policy under Tanzania’s former President Dr. Jakaya Kikwete, Kilimo Kwanza reframed agriculture not as a subsistence fallback but as a sovereign development engine.
We carry that vision forward — across borders, across generations, and across the entire African continent. Our mission is clear and urgent: to make agriculture the centerpiece of Africa’s present prosperity and future resilience.
Africa’s Greatest Asset. Its Most Underutilized Opportunity.
Agriculture sustains hundreds of millions of families across the continent — yet the smallholder farmers who feed Africa remain among the least connected to the knowledge, capital, and networks they need to thrive. At the same time, climate variability is intensifying. The challenge is real. So is the opportunity.
Africa is the world’s next great agricultural frontier. The partners who show up now — with vision, resources, and commitment — will help shape the outcome for generations to come.
