AfrII uses a combination of national level and community-based approaches to implement its programmes, which are directed towards strengthening agricultural value chains, adaptation to climate change, infectious disease control and capacity building.

All our activities are aimed at creating an enabling environment for the fulfillment of our four core objectives namely;

1. To generate and accelerate utilization of knowledge and innovations for sustainable agricultural development and advancement of science and technology in Africa.
2. To facilitate learning and bridge information gaps through managing our knowledge base, publishing our research findings, sharing of lessons learnt and holding of conferences, seminars and camps.
3. To promote entrepreneurship and accelerate transformation of knowledge and innovations into agri- business ventures through partnerships and linkages with private sector players in agriculture and industry.
4. To promote and participate in capacity development in agriculture, research, science, and innovations for sustainability of the agricultural sector.
