🎉 20 Years of AHA International: Celebrating two decades of global partnerships and farmer empowerment! 🌍
Last night, we had the privilege of celebrating a very special milestone: 20 years of AHA International! It was an absolute pleasure to bring together longtime companions, partners, and guests from all over the world for this occasion.
It was fantastic to see our worldwide network come together: Experts from the agricultural and food industry, representatives of the private sector, and key decision-makers from politics and associations — including the Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ) and Bundesministerium für Landwirtschaft, Ernährung und Heimat (BMLEH) — the diversity and energy of our guests made this evening unforgettable!
Together, we reflected on 20 eventful years and key moments of international cooperation. Particularly inspiring was the "Voice from the Field“ from Kakuna Katuuo (YLIP Alumni & Chairperson of the NNFO), the valuable insights from the BMZ and BMLEH keynotes, and our lively panel discussion on the future and scaling of agripreneurship. Another highlight: the launch of our book „Farmer‘s Organisations“, which gives key insights on managing a Farmer‘s Organisation! 📖✨
We look back with pride on what we have achieved, especially our project work in Africa and India, and look forward to the oming decades of jointly strengthening people and organisations in the agri-food system and rural areas worldwide.
A heartfelt thank you to all speakers, guests, and contributors:
