๐ Bridging the gap: Research meets finance at #ScalingWeek2026 in Nairobi!
At the "From Innovation to Investment" session, @CGIAR & IFIs explored aligning proven agricultural solutions with country priorities & development-finance pipelines.
Key takeaways:
๐น Early Engagement: Technical teams must join at project identification/country strategy stages to align with government demand before funding is set.
๐น Investability Criteria: Beyond tech efficacy, solutions need financial viability, cost-effectiveness, social inclusion (gender/youth), and clear delivery pathways.
๐น Beyond Science: Value lies in technical assistance, capacity building, and knowledge curation (e.g., tech e-catalogues & co-design missions).
๐น Real-World Impact: Practical models like climate adaptation in the Zambezi Basin & national livestock initiatives show the way forward.
๐๐พLinking research mechanisms with financial architecture is key to scaling sustainable transformation!

This week has been truly amazing attending the @CGIAR #ScalingWeek2026 as a Future Impact Scaler and sharing our work.
At Tukuze Shambani, we are building an AI-powered system that helps smallholder farmers detect crop maturity and harvest their crops at the right time.
With that, ladies and gentlemen, the #ScalingWeek2026 officially comes to an end.

At #ScalingWeek2026 at #ILRI in Nairobi, the #TAATClearinghouse demonstrated how #CGIARscience transitions from research shelves directly into multi-million dollar development finance pipelines.
๐Key Highlights
โ
Bridging Science & Investment: The #TAATClearinghouse connects CGIAR research with #IFIs like the African Development Bank Group, Gates Foundation, Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) and others, embedding ready-to-scale innovations into sovereign loan packages.
โ
Real-World Impact (Nigeria Case Study): Through the $134M AfDB-funded #NAGS-AP project, #TAAT technical assistance helped expand wheat cultivation in #JigawaState from 70,000 to 119,000 hectares, boosting average yields from 1.5 to 2.5 t/ha.
โ
Cascading Delivery: Trained 79 Master Extension Trainers, who are cascading knowledge to 5,000 frontline workers to reach 500,000 smallholder farmers with climate-smart technologies.
โ
High-Readiness Solutions: Sourcing proven innovations (Level 7+ maturity) to bundle complete, bankable technical assistance packages for national development priorities.
โจMoving science from innovation to investment ensures sustainable, continental-scale agricultural transformation.
