African Food Changemakers is a Not-Profit organization that was founded in 2022 via a merger of two sister organizations, Nourishing Africa, and Changing Narratives Africa, both also founded by Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli in 2019 and 2021 respectively.
At AFC, we believe that small and medium-sized enterprises are the life blood of the food ecosystem in Africa. These enterprises are driven by visionary, dynamic, and innovative entrepreneurs who operate as primary producers, aggregators, processors, distributors, finance and technology providers, chefs, cooks, consultants, and innovators – We call them Changemakers. We also believe that connections made through food are a powerful way to change narratives. We are committed to changing global narratives about Africa by celebrating Africa’s contributions to the global food ecosystem, showcasing our innovations, and cooking methods, amplifying and scaling proudly African food and beverage brands, and ensuring that more people globally experience the diversity and richness of the Continent’s gastronomic heritage and exciting future.
Our Mission: To enable African entrepreneurs to start and scale resilient and sustainable agribusinesses that feed Africa and the world by providing training, funding opportunities, exposure, trade linkages, and fostering a vibrant community of changemakers.
Our Vision: To be the leading agribusiness ecosystem Hub, enabling a million entrepreneurs to build successful and sustainable agribusinesses that feed Africa and the world and are recognized and respected all over the world.
