A great kickoff to the GRO-GEST Alumni Engagement Initiative on Gender and Development in contemporary societies. We were delighted to host MFAI alumna @ClaireNakato , a counseling psychologist alongside @OliviaAbenakyo, an economist as panelists discussing the State and Gender.

Innovation begins when communities are equipped to produce and also create value.

What if mushrooms could become more than a crop?

During our Mushroom Value Addition Training in Kenya, participants explored how mushrooms can be transformed into market-ready products such as powders, crisps, and porridge flour while gaining practical skills in packaging.

Beyond production, the training challenged participants to think like entrepreneurs, identifying opportunities across the mushroom value chain and building pathways towards sustainable livelihoods and stronger local economies.

African solutions deserve global visibility.
Through our partnership with @phos_creatives, @mfaiuganda is advancing a shared vision, empowering leaders and amplifying ideas that drive real change.
