Linda served as the Interim Executive Director since 1st July 2025, following the departure of our former Executive Director, Lucy Kioko. She now takes on the substantive role at a pivotal moment of growth for SAF-Africa.

With senior previous experience as the head of finance, building strong institutional frameworks through enforcement of strong governance structures, Linda will lead SAF-Africa’s next phase of institutional strengthening and programmatic scale. Under her leadership, we will deepen work in seed systems, agri-entrepreneurship, climate resilience, inclusive finance, and market-based solutions.

The Board looks forward to working with her to strengthen partnerships, accelerate impact, and advance our vision: smallholders, communities, and nature thriving together.

Welcome, Akinyi Linda Koi.
