JOB DETAILS:

The African Fertilizer and Agribusiness Partnership (AFAP) is a dynamic non-profit social enterprise committed to strengthening fertilizer and agri-input markets across Africa through sustainable, market-driven business solutions and impactful projects in the agricultural inputs and agribusiness sectors.

Our integrated approach includes policy and regulatory reform, capacity building, provision of financial credit, and the development of data-driven market intelligence.
