Founded in 2020, our work is rooted in Hunter, the vision of inclusive prosperity shared by the founding members. HGN works toward a future where food security is assured, rural communities prosper, women and youth lead in agribusiness, and African farmers compete globally. Guided by sustainability, accountability, and climate resilience, HGN builds transformation that lasts across generations.

Ultimately, Hunter’s Global Network serves as a strategic bridge — linking policy with practice, knowledge with opportunity, and farmers with markets, while unlocking Africa’s vast agricultural potential. — with measurable social, economic, and environmental outcomes.

​

At the centre of HGN’s approach are two transformative frameworks:

• The Rural and Urban Agriculture Innovative Production Program (RUAIPP) — a structured program designed to modernise production systems, expand value-addition, improve food security, create jobs for youth and women, and build resilient communities across both rural and urban landscapes.

• Agriculture-Based Clusters (ABCs) — coordinated production hubs that organise farmers, processors, extension services, logistics partners, and markets into integrated value chains, enabling scale, traceability, quality control, climate-smart production, and sustainable exports.

Together, RUAIPP and the ABCs provide donors, governments, and investors with a practical, scalable, and accountable mechanism for deploying resources, achieving development targets, and generating sustainable returns.

​

HGN convenes a broad ecosystem of partners whose combined strengths transform policy intent into measurable impact, working with:

• Agriculture and Agroecology Specialists – Advancing regenerative agriculture, climate-smart practices, water stewardship, soil restoration, and environmentally responsible production models.

• International Export and Trade Partners – Building compliant, competitive export pathways that open global markets, strengthen regional integration, and support economic diversification.

• Development Agencies and NGOs – Collaborating to empower women, youth, and marginalised communities through capacity building, enterprise support, and value-addition initiatives.

• Research and Academic Institutions – Providing applied research, innovation, and technical knowledge to support evidence-based policy and program design.

• Financial Institutions and Impact Investors – Offering blended finance, guarantees, risk-sharing mechanisms, and catalytic capital to scale commercially viable agricultural and agri-food enterprises.

• Farmers, Cooperatives, and Agro-Entrepreneurs – The operational backbone of the network, actively engaged in production, processing, and local food systems, empowered through training, technology, and market linkages.

​

Through this structured and collaborative model, HGN delivers results that matter: stronger food systems, resilient communities, youth-driven employment, gender empowerment, climate mitigation and adaptation, and inclusive economic growth aligned with national development plans, Vision 2036-type frameworks, AfCFTA opportunities, and the Sustainable Development Goals.

In essence, Hunter’s Global Network is a catalyst — connecting policies to practice, capital to opportunity, and partners to impact — while ensuring that every investment, every program, and every partnership meaningfully advances sustainable development across Africa.
