RUFORUM

The RUFORUM is a consortium of 163 universities operating within 40 countries in Africa and headquartered in Uganda. The consortium supports universities to address the important and largely unfulfilled role that they play in contributing to the well‐being of small‐scale farmers and the economic development of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, RUFORUM is implementing the Transforming African Agricultural Universities to Meaningfully Contribute to Africa’s Growth and Development (TAGDev) project to train competent and highly skilled African youth. The program also develops the capacities of African universities to effectively train and nurture graduates with relevant skills to respond to developmental challenges through enhanced application of science, technology, business, and innovation for rural agricultural transformation.
