Gates Foundation and Google to Bring AI resources to 200 Million Farmers Across the Global South

Google and the Gates Foundation have directed more than $100M in combined funding and dedicated technical support from Google researchers to deploy real-time climate, agricultural, and language AI tools. MOUNTAIN VIEW & SEATTLE (Friday, 18 September) — The Gates Foundation and Google today unveiled an expanded initiative to bring advanced AI tools to 200 million smallholder farmers across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia , helping them anticipate climate risks , improve farm productivity , and build resilience in a changing climate. The multi-year roadmap will scale AI applications from an initial reach of 50 million farmers to 200 million smallholders across critical climate-adaptation and food-security challenges. To support this expansion, the Gates Foundation and Google have contributed $100 million in combined funding and dedicated research and engineering support to organizations delivering scaled impact. “No matter where they farm, people deserve access to the weather...

Uganda to build climate resilience in livestock, land and insurance systems

Uganda has launched a major three-year initiative to strengthen climate resilience across its livestock, land and insurance systems, marking a significant step in a broader regional effort to transform food systems in the face of escalating climate shocks. The initiative, part of the programme on “ Accelerating Food Systems Transformation for Resilience to Climate Change in Africa ”, is led by the Government of Uganda in partnership with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). It will also be implemented in Kenya and Somalia. Livestock is central to Uganda’s economy, supporting an estimated 4.5 million people and contributing about 17 per cent of agricultural GDP. Yet, the country remains vulnerable to climate change and weather variability, necessitating the need for building resilience of livestock-based food systems. The new initiative tar...

Celebrating the aspirations, creativity, and resilience of Africa’s young people

Addis Ababa, 12 August 2026 (ECA) - This year’s theme, “ Different Contexts, Common Aspirations ”, is especially relevant to Africa. From rapidly expanding cities and emerging digital economies to rural communities and countries affected by conflict, young Africans live in vastly different circumstances. Yet they share fundamental aspirations: relevant skills, decent and stable work, economic security and a meaningful voice in shaping Africa’s future. On 6–7 August, the Economic Commission for Africa conducted four focus-group discussions with 32 young people at the ENG Ethiopia Hub in Addis Ababa. This followed similar earlier discussions with young people in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia, reaching over 60 youth. Participants included employed and unemployed youth, recent graduates transitioning from education to work, and young people outside the labor market. Their perspectives were candid and compelling. They described a widening mismatch between education and labor-market needs , insuffi...

Key African Agricultural Updates

Key Agricultural Updates Weather uncertainty remains one of the main challenges facing African agriculture. El Nino conditions may strengthen during the second half of 2026, increasing the risk of irregular rainfall and agricultural drought in parts of East Africa, the Sahel, and Southern Africa. In East Africa, rainfall has been uneven across Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia, and surrounding areas. Some highland regions are receiving sufficient rainfall, while several rain-fed farming areas continue to face extended dry periods. Maize, beans, livestock pasture, and other rain-dependent crops may come under pressure if rainfall remains poorly distributed. In West Africa and the Sahel, food-security risks remain high. Irregular rainfall, local drought, conflict, high food prices, and limited access to agricultural inputs are affecting production in Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Mali, Cameroon, and Senegal. Southern Africa currently has relatively strong maize supplies. South Africa and Zambia a...

Investing in the future: ensuring women-led small businesses can thrive

When we picture engines of economic growth and job creation, we tend to think of large multinational companies and global brands. Yet, in emerging and developing economies, it is primarily micro, small, and medium-sized businesses that play this critical role. Small and medium-sized businesses represent around 90 percent of all businesses worldwide, and account for more than half of global employment. In developing countries, these businesses are critical to economic diversity and poverty reduction, creating jobs that provide not just incomes but also purpose and dignity for people within their local communities. Yet many small businesses in developing countries remain cash deprived and undeveloped – especially those led by women. Too many women are excluded from traditional financial channels, limiting their ability to hire and innovate. The financing gap for women-led businesses globally remains in the trillions of dollars. But even when they can access ...

Rome Mission for the Agrifood Systems Accelerator

On February 2nd and 3rd, 2026, global development partners gathered in Rome at the invitation of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) for an important milestone: advancing the work of the Agri‑Food Systems Accelerator , a collaborative platform designed to support countries in transforming their national food systems. Why the Agri‑Food Systems Accelerator Matters Since 2022, AGRA and its partners have supported governments across Africa in developing food‑systems‑centered strategies and investment plans. Across this work, one recurring challenge has always stood out: the response to government requests for support is often fragmented, with multiple institutions sometimes duplicating efforts. To address this, FAO and GAIN convened partners to design a coordinated mechanism, now known as the Agri‑Food Systems Accelerator – to streamline support, harmonize resources, and increase impact. The Accelerator was officially launched in July 2025 in Addis Ababa on the sidelines of the U...

Investing in Climate Resilience

Investing in climate resilience is smart investment and smart development. It is not about avoiding losses – rather, it will drive future prosperity, growth, and competitiveness – especially because resiliency enables risk taking and innovation. A new report by Systemiq Ltd. in collaboration with over 20 partners, launched at The World Bank Annual Meetings , reveals that investments in adaptation deliver 4 times more benefits than costs, with an average annual return of 25%. The global adaptation market could reach $1.3 trillion by 2030 and generate over 280 million jobs across emerging markets by 2035. Yet, it is among the most undervalued investment classes. For every $1 spent on resilient infrastructure , $87 continues to go into assets that ignore climate and nature risks. As the world prepares for #COP30, governments, businesses, and investors must channel capital toward solutions that secure prosperity by building resilience and enabling risk taking and innovation...
