AgriYouth Africa Hackathon 2023

As part of the Africa Agribuisness and Science Week 2023 (AASW8), YPARD  in partnership with Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) and the Global Forum for Agricultural Research and Innovation (GFAR) is organizing The AgriYouth Africa Hackathon under the theme, “Digital Technologies (ICT4Ag): The Pathway to Engaging the African Youth in African Agricultural Research and Development (AR4D)”.

The main objective of this hackathon is to provide a platform to enable and empower young agricultural professionals in Africa to shape sustainable food systems through the proposal of ICT-based solutions for Africa’s agriculture. The hackathon will further serve as a platform for young professionals to be mentored on ways of improving their ideas and proposals for the provision of sustainable and scalable ICT-based solutions. This will serve as a skills enhancement mechanism to increase the youth’s access to capacity development opportunities.

Essentially, the hackathon is to stimulate the creativity and investigative character of Africa’s youth in contributing to improve food security in Africa through the adoption of innovative and inclusive ICT4Ag for high performance across the value chains.
