Strategy for agricultural transformation in africa

 
2.13
 
This Strategy has been developed in parallel with strategies for the Bank’s other 
"High 5s," and key priorities.
To ensure that investments across the High 5s are not 
duplicative, the ‘Feed Africa’ strategy will focus in the following ways:
• 
Light Up and Power Africa: Energy infrastructure will be key for driving on-farm 
productivity and processing zones and hubs. ‘Feed Africa’ will focus on agriculture-
specific hard and market infrastructure (e.g. roads, irrigation, production and 
processing capacity) and coordinating related investments with more general 
infrastructure plans. 
• 
Integrate Africa: Regional integration is key for intra-African trade of agricultural 
goods. ‘Feed Africa’ will focus investments on cross-border agricultural corridors 
in addition to non-financial resources dedicated to policy advocacy and the 
strengthening of market information.
• 
Industrialize Africa: Agro-industrialization requires a similar set of tools as those 
that will be used for general industrialization. This is especially the case when 
considering the intersection of agro-processing zones, corridors, and special 
economic zones. ‘Feed Africa’ will focus on corridors and smaller zones specifically 
targeted at linking production and markets for agricultural goods as well as 
strengthening processing capacity.
