137 | Increasing the Resilience of African Smallholder Farmers
Update: 2025-06-25
Description
On the latest episode of Mathematica’s On the Evidence podcast, Dr. Agnes Kalibata reflects on her career as a scientist and as the former president of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), an African-led organization that seeks to create an environment where Africa can sustainably feed itself. It does so by focusing on scaling agricultural innovations that help smallholder farmers achieve increased incomes, better livelihoods, and improved food security.
Kalibata’s 10-year term as AGRA president ended earlier this year. She spoke with Mathematica President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Decker last December. Mathematica supports AGRA’s implementation of its 2023–2027 monitoring, evaluation, and learning strategy. On the episode, Kalibata and Decker discuss locally led development and the role of data in helping to understand how a program, such as AGRA’s Seed Systems, can be more effective.
