About the company
African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF) is a non-profit organization based in Nairobi, Kenya, that has been registered to receive federal awards since January 2013. The organization specializes in agricultural development across Africa and provides technical assistance and advisory services to the U.S. federal government through cooperative agreements. AATF's work focuses on enhancing food security, promoting agricultural trade, and facilitating the adoption of agricultural biotechnology across African nations, positioning itself as a bridge between U.S. agricultural interests and African market development.
AATF has received three prime federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, all structured as cooperative agreements. The most recent award, valued at $452,500.02 and funded through the USDA's U.S. Codex Office Support for International Activities program (CFDA 10.997), was granted on June 20, 2025, and focuses on enhancing food safety standards, promoting regulatory harmonization, and facilitating trade between the United States and African nations. This award specifically funds communication and advocacy efforts to promote greater access for African agricultural products, including livestock and fisheries, to international markets, with a completion date of May 31, 2027. AATF's second award, initiated on October 1, 2023, from the USDA's Technical Agricultural Assistance program, targets agricultural biotechnology trade in Southern Africa by conducting biosafety framework analyses, strengthening capacity for policymakers and regulators, and enhancing risk assessment capabilities across six project countries and regional organizations such as SADC, FANRPAN, and CCARDESSA, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2028. An earlier award from March 2022, also funded through Technical Agricultural Assistance, centered on reducing poverty and enhancing food security by promoting African agricultural products in international markets. Additionally, AATF serves as a sub-awardee to Michigan State University under a grant awarded on August 31, 2023, where it conducts communication and advocacy activities to build support for the commercialization and adoption of transgenic late blight-resistant potatoes in Ethiopia and Nigeria, working collaboratively with organizations such as OFAB, ISAAA, and the Cornell Alliance for Science to develop stakeholder engagement strategies and create communication materials tailored to country-specific needs.
