Back to News News Africa Africa’s food systems need to be reimagined – CALA forum to chart ways forward 5 Sept 2022 Food and agriculture leaders from across Africa are gathered in Rwanda today to advance action for food systems transformation on the continent. The two-day forum themed Collaborative Leadership: Advancing African Food Systems, is organised by the Centre for African Leaders in Agriculture (CALA) , an AGRA-led initiative, and will see over 200 of Africa’s leading and emerging agriculture leaders convene for a series of workshops, panel discussions and networking sessions designed to provoke collaborative action towards the most pressing food system issues facing the continent today. The forum is the first in-person gathering of CALA’s participants in the Centre’s young history. The second cohort of 80 food systems leaders will be unveiled officially. During the event the delegates will issue a call to action for greater collaboration among sector leaders on advancing African food systems. Among the key speakers were H.E. Hailemariam Dessalegn, AGRA Board Chair and former Prime Minister for Ethiopia, Dr. Agnes Kalibata, President of AGRA, and Rebecca Harrison, CEO of African Management Institute (AMI). “Realising the collective expertise and energy of these distinguished leaders from AGRA’s Centre for African Leaders in Agriculture gathered here today, this is really our moment to seize to work together towards deeper integration of our food systems, and to take critical steps towards achieving zero hunger”, said H.E. Hailemariam Dessalegn. Selected from over 1,000 applicants, the 80 new CALA delegates represent the continent’s most dynamic leaders in agriculture, with 45% of them drawn from government agencies across the eight countries, 26% from the private sector and 29% from civil society. “These illustrious CALA cohorts of 160 leaders from eight countries have distinguished themselves in delivering on food systems transformation priorities across government, private sector and civil society. In the aftermath of COVID-19, we have a unique opportunity to re-imagine and build more resilient food systems. We look forward to the rest of this decade of action working with you all to meet our sector priorities with the eight harvests we now have left,” said Dr. Kalibata. Designed for rising stars and established executives from across Africa’s agriculture sector in government, the private sector and civil society, CALA’s Advanced Leadership Programme is the continent’s premier leadership programme tailored to support leaders to advance sustainable agriculture sector priorities. The highly competitive programme is a 16-month learning journey that emphasises collaborative and practical experience and is focused on advancing leaders’ professional skills as they contribute to delivery of flagship programmes on food systems transformation. An AGRA-led initiative, CALA is delivered in collaboration with implementing partners, including AMI, CALA’s lead implementation and learning partner, and USAID’s Policy LINK. Policy LINK has led the design and rollout of the leadership programme’s coaching component. “As a leader, being a catalyst for change and transformation is difficult work, even for the most seasoned professional. AMI’s leadership learning journey within CALA’s programmes, focuses on enhancing leaders’ collaborative leadership styles and providing practical, hands-on learning experiences for senior and emerging African leaders in agriculture,” said Rebecca Harrison, CEO and Co-Founder of AMI. “This in-person event is a milestone for the CALA program and the committed leaders at its core,” said Policy LINK Chief of Party Steve Smith. “As we forge new connections in Rwanda over the next two days, may they also strengthen our common cause — transforming food systems for the benefit of the entire region and its people.” The two-day leadership forum comes at a time when the world is facing a crippling food crisis with countries in Africa among the most affected. It is focused on enabling leaders to deliver on their commitments to food security by emphasising the role of collaboration and adaptive leadership in advancing Africa’s food systems.

Evone Selvarajah Founder & Sales Director Eden Heights Realty This experience reminded me of our shared humanity and the importance of our emotions. The emotional intelligence aspect had a lasting impact on me. It's about creating workplaces where being predictable and open leads to trust and acceptance, allowing for better conversations. Jocelyn Muoki Brand Marketing Manager Vivo Fashion Group These tools are incredibly powerful—I see them as gold. The programme has transformed my understanding of storytelling and its impact. I now fully appreciate how we can craft and use our stories to secure investment and funding opportunities. The Speak Up and Lead course, in particular, has helped me harness storytelling to highlight the values behind our work. Jackie May Founder & Editor TWYG There’s plenty of training content and tools available online, but very little is tailored to the African context. That’s what makes AMI stand out. The facilitators and participants bring local insights into every discussion, ensuring that feedback and guidance are relevant and practical. This has made me more likely to recommend AMI. As an admin at Workpay, I also appreciated their excellent customer service. Boris Maguire VP Operations Workpay As managers, we often take on too much ourselves. I’ve learned how to collaborate better with my team and ensure everyone takes responsibility for their work. I can already see a difference—the team is more engaged and proactive.

Back to News News Uganda AMI and Uganda Solar Energy Association (USEA) establish a strategic partnership to boost the energy sector 19 Sept 2024 Uganda’s solar industry leaders, managers, and workforce are getting a boost of energy as a result of a new partnership announced today between the African Management Institute (AMI) and the Uganda Solar Energy Association (USEA). Made possible by the Energy Access Talent Initiative (EATI) Programme funded by UKAID, this partnership will equip leaders and managers within the clean energy sector across Africa with the essential skills and tools to drive growth in their companies, as a result increasing energy access for Ugandans. “This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to building the capacity of leaders in high-growth sectors such as clean energy,” Alvin Katto, Country Manager, AMI Uganda. “By empowering managers with practical skills, we are supporting the expansion of energy access and driving meaningful, lasting change in Uganda’s energy landscape.” Professor Robinah Nanyunja, CEO at USEA, added, “We’re excited to offer our members this valuable opportunity for professional development. The skills gained through this programme will undoubtedly accelerate the growth of Uganda’s solar energy sector.” As part of this initiative, USEA members will gain exclusive access to AMI’s Empowering Managers Programme, a practical and results-focused training designed to enhance management capabilities in the clean energy sector. The programme is tailored to address the unique challenges faced by sector professionals, including effective team supervision, project management, and strategies to manage geographically dispersed teams. The African Management Institute (AMI) enables ambitious businesses across Africa to thrive, through practical tools and training. AMI’s practical and experience-driven learning approach, supports individuals to improve performance and develop essential winning behaviors and practices. This methodology encourages learning from data, feedback, live experiences, and implementation, ultimately propelling organizational success. USEA is the leading organization for Uganda’s solar energy industry, promoting the adoption of solar technologies and striving to expand access to clean, sustainable, and affordable energy across the country. By strengthening leadership within the clean energy sector, this partnership plays a critical role in advancing sustainable energy solutions, improving livelihoods, creating jobs, and fostering green economic opportunities in Uganda. Participants of the programme will receive subsidised pricing, making it more accessible to USEA’s membership base. This partnership follows a number of initiatives driven by the Government of Uganda to promote renewable energy projects through various financial and regulatory incentives, aligned with the 2023 Energy Policy. One such is the cut on taxes for importing renewable energy products like solar panels, inverters, batteries and wind turbines among others. In addition, through the Uganda Energy Credit Capitalization Company (UECCC), a number of credit support instruments have been offered to renewable energy companies to increase clean energy adoption by the Government of Uganda. USEA members can start enrolling in the Empowering Managers Programme this September. For more information, please visit https://africanmanagers.com/empowering-managers-uganda/

By learning from the programme how to communicate effectively, I became confident to empower my teammates to accomplish their daily tasks properly irrespective of us being in the office Anthony Gatsinzi RwandAir Cargo Planning and Pricing Manager AMI used its blended learning approach to ensure the programme translated into actual on-the-job practice and performance improvement. My sense is that the value generated from the team projects alone has more than paid for the programme itself. We’ve had a great experience with AMI over the last 4 years and consider them a valuable learning partner. Jesse Moore M-KOPA CEO and co-founder The tools were a game changer. Before Aspire, we kept postponing decisions while managing daily operations. Now, we have a clear process for making both big and small decisions. As a result, our revenue has grown, and our business continues to thrive, thanks to Aspire. Raphael Opiyo Obiero Nawiri African Sprouts Ltd Founder There’s plenty of training content and tools available online, but very little is tailored to the African context. That’s what makes AMI stand out. The facilitators and participants bring local insights into every discussion, ensuring that feedback and guidance are relevant and practical. This has made me more likely to recommend AMI. As an admin at Workpay, I also appreciated their excellent customer service. Boris Maguire Workpay VP Operations I learned how to delegate effectively and build trust within my team using practical coaching tools. The Growth Mindset Learning Lab also helped me improve my presentation skills, making our meetings more engaging. As a result, attendance grew from 100 to 695 in a short time.
