Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT)

The Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) programme aims to help the continent fulfil its enormous potential in the sector by employing high-impact technologies to boost output.
Africa is home to 60% of the world’s arable land, yet we remain importers of food and unable to reap the benefits of our labour. Millions of our people are productive in the sector yet we remain the most food insecure in the world. About 220 million Africans suffer from chronic undernourishment – about a fifth of the continent’s population and a quarter of the global total experiencing this burden.
The African Development Bank has embarked on a mission to address these challenges holistically, through the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation programme. The programme, launched in 2018, is an integral part of the Bank’s Feed Africa Strategy 2016–2025.
