About this opportunity
Scholarships and training grants for young African agronomists, extension officers, and agricultural researchers to advance sustainable agriculture practices and food security across Sub-Saharan Africa.

What it offers
- Digital tools designed to support smallholder farming, including:
- Seeds2B: A commercialization toolkit to help organizations provide smallholders with better seed varieties.
- Soluta: Supports transparency and traceability in agricultural value chains.
- Farmforce: Helps companies buy from smallholders, improving rural incomes.
- Demand-led breeding: Strengthens plant breeder training in Africa, focusing on farmers’ and consumers’ needs.
- ACRE Africa: Assists farmers in tackling climate challenges, primarily through weather insurance.
Good to know
- The Syngenta Foundation is phasing out its operations and closing its headquarters in Switzerland in 2024.
- Legacy operations are being continued by independent entities in Bangladesh, India, Kenya, Senegal, Nigeria, Mali, and Indonesia.
