About the Africa Fertilizer Financing Mechanism

The Africa Fertilizer Financing Mechanism was established by the 2006 Abuja Declaration. Through this Declaration, African Union member states committed to improve agricultural productivity by providing financing to boost fertilizer use in Africa to 50kg of nutrients per hectare. The African Development Bank manages the Africa Fertilizer Financing Mechanism to accelerate agriculture development within the context of the Bank's Feed Africa strategy, the Sustainable Development Goals and the African Union's Agenda 2063.
