PAFDI’s Agricultural Advisory Services integrate research, policy advice, and technical assistance to support the transformation of African agriculture through sustainable financing and inclusive growth.

Our work is anchored in five priority areas:

• Research & Knowledge Generation
  Conducting applied research to bridge data gaps in agricultural financing and development, providing insights to guide both policy and investment decisions.
• Financing Enablement
  Supporting agribusinesses and cooperatives to develop bankable proposals and financial strategies, while collaborating with financial institutions to design agriculture-sensitive products that de-risk investment.
• Capacity Building & Technical Advice
  Delivering policy advice and hands-on training to agripreneurs, agricultural professionals, and relevant public institutions—strengthening strategic planning, financial management, and adoption of climate-resilient practices.
• Policy Dialogue & Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships
  Facilitating dialogue and collaboration across governments, private sector actors, and development partners to ensure agricultural advisory services are aligned with national priorities and continental financing frameworks.
• Innovation & Digital Integration
  Incorporating innovative approaches—from data analytics to digital platforms and ESG frameworks—to improve service delivery, market linkages, and decision-making across agrifood systems.

Through these initiatives, PAFDI leverages research-driven insights and multi-stakeholder engagement to promote innovation, resilience, and inclusivity in Africa’s agricultural sector.
