About the Organization

Farm Africa is an esteemed international non-governmental organization that has dedicated decades to transforming the lives of smallholder farmers across rural Africa. Our mission is built on the fundamental belief that for Africa’s rural communities to thrive, they must have the tools and expertise to grow their agriculture while simultaneously protecting the environment. We do not just provide temporary aid; we build sustainable systems that allow families to create their own path out of poverty through business development and natural resource management.

Our vision is of a prosperous rural Africa where people have the resources to withstand climate shocks and the market access to grow their incomes. To achieve this, Farm Africa operates at the intersection of environmental conservation and economic productivity. We specialize in evidence-based solutions that are tested on the ground, ensuring that every project we undertake is technically sound and culturally appropriate for the communities we serve.

The core values of Farm Africa—Expert, Grounded, Impactful, and Bold—guide every decision we make. Being "Expert" means we rely on scientific evidence and specialized knowledge; being "Grounded" means we work side-by-side with local communities; being "Impactful" ensures our work leaves a lasting legacy; and being "Bold" allows us to innovate and challenge outdated development models that are no longer effective.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just buzzwords at Farm Africa; they are central to our operational success. We recognize that rural development is most effective when it includes the voices of everyone, regardless of gender or background. We strive to create a workplace that reflects the diverse communities we support, fostering an environment where every employee feels valued and empowered to contribute to our mission.

Farm Africa is an equal opportunity employer that actively promotes gender equity in the workplace. We strongly encourage women, persons with disabilities, and individuals from underrepresented groups to apply for these positions. We are committed to building a team that represents a wide range of perspectives and experiences to better serve our beneficiaries.
