Improving the business of agriculture across Africa by raising agricultural productivity, mitigating risks and promoting diversification and processing is essential for the transformation of agriculture in Africa. The TAAT Maize Compact, led by AATF, is disseminating climate-smart maize technologies such as the Water Efficient Maize Varieties from the WEMA project and other breeding programs across 14 countries in Africa. These technologies are disseminated through a strong Public-Private Partnership with significant participation of commercial seed companies, farmer groups, commodity associations and National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS). The TAAT Maize Compact is one of the programs within the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation program funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB). Through the implementation of this project, AATF aspires: 2 million households to get access to water-efficient and other climate-smart maize technologies 12 million farm family members to benefit from climate-smart maize technologies 30,000 tonnes of climate-smart maize seed to be produced by seed companies under TAAT Maize Compact
