AATIF – Africa Agriculture and Trade Investment Fund

The Africa Agriculture and Trade Investment Fund is dedicated to uplifting Africa’s agricultural potential. The Fund aims to improve food security and provide additional employment and income to farmers, entrepreneurs and labourers alike by investing patiently and responsibly in efficient local value chains.

After structuring the Fund, Innpact has stayed on, providing a broad range of support services to the Board of Directors; keeping up with the continuously evolving regulatory environment and ensuring that the Fund applies the best corporate governance practices, so the Board can focus on achieving AATIF’s goals.
