Vision

To be the leading and preferred provider of services that increase knowledge and understanding of Agriculture, Environment and Health issues in Africa.  

To enhance the contribution of knowledge to Africa’s development.

1. Provide a channel for publication of research outputs by scholars in Africa in the areas of Agriculture, Health and Environment, specifically those highly valuable but considered as Gray (grey) literature, and thus lacking formal dissemination channels. This will consist of documentary material that is not commercially published, typically composed of technical reports, manuals and booklets, working papers, business documents, conference proceedings and dissertations.
2. Provide professional research and technical services in the areas of Agriculture, Health and Environment to fulfil specific knowledge needs of our clients. Clients will include non-governmental development organisations (donors and project implementers), local and international learning institutions, governmental institutions, and private entrepreneurs. Services include development and review of proposals for funding, surveys and specialised research activities, project monitoring and evaluation, organizing training and demonstrations in specialised subject matter, and development of communications and training curricula and resources (booklets, manuals, posters, brochures, CD and web info packages).
   • Non-governmental development organisations (donors and NGOs);
