    2026–2030 Knowledge Management Partnership Framework for Agricultural Research for Development in Africa
    (FARA, 2026-07) CAADP-XP4 Consortium, CGIAR, KM4AgD CoP, & African Union Commission
    The Knowledge Management Partnership Framework for AR4D in Africa (2026–2030) provides a continental strategic framework for strengthening collaboration on knowledge management among the African Union Commission, CAADP-XP4 consortium institutions, CGIAR, and related African agricultural research and innovation partners. The framework repositions knowledge management from a narrow focus on repositories and dissemination toward a broader system of adaptive learning, implementation intelligence, institutional change, and impact-oriented knowledge ecosystems that support the transformation of Africa’s agrifood systems. FARA African Union Building on the 2023–2025 framework, the document responds to evolving continental priorities under the Kampala CAADP Declaration and the CAADP Strategy and Action Plan 2026–2035, which emphasize science, technology, innovation, learning, foresight, and implementation. It establishes a shared vision of an African agricultural research and innovation ecosystem in which knowledge is intentionally governed, shared, co-created, and applied to accelerate resilient, inclusive, and sustainable agrifood transformation. FARA African Union The framework defines strategic objectives covering KM governance, adaptive learning, digital knowledge infrastructure, AI readiness, indigenous knowledge integration, coordinated dissemination, and evidence of KM contribution to transformation outcomes. It outlines governance arrangements, implementation mechanisms, monitoring and learning processes, and expected results by 2030, including stronger institutionalization of KM, more coherent continental collaboration, enhanced African agricultural knowledge infrastructure, improved capacity sharing, and greater recognition of indigenous knowledge systems.

    5th Bi-Monthly KM4AgD Webinar 2026 - Presentations on 2026-2030 Knowledge Management Partnership Framework Summary
    (2026-10) Benjamin Abugri
    This presentation provides a strategic overview of the Knowledge Management Partnership Framework for Agricultural Research for Development in Africa, 2026–2030, developed through collaboration involving CAADP-XP4, CGIAR, the African Union Commission and the KM4AgD Community of Practice. The framework establishes a shared vision for an African agricultural research and innovation ecosystem in which knowledge is intentionally governed, shared, co-created and applied to accelerate resilient, inclusive and sustainable agrifood systems. It articulates eight strategic objectives and seven implementation components addressing institutional coordination, adaptive learning, digital transformation, capacity development, indigenous knowledge, collaborative knowledge products and evidence of knowledge management's contribution to agricultural transformation. The presentation outlines partnership governance arrangements, institutional responsibilities, implementation approaches and mechanisms for monitoring progress. Particular emphasis is placed on African ownership, institutional collaboration, knowledge accessibility, responsible adoption of artificial intelligence, inclusive participation and the practical application of knowledge in policy, investment and agricultural development. It serves as a strategic reference for institutions and stakeholders working to strengthen continental, regional and national knowledge management systems and translate agricultural research and innovation into measurable development outcomes.
