The vast majority of Africa’s 1.47B population relies on agriculture for their livelihoods, contributing 23% of the continent's GDP. However, agricultural yields are expected to drop over the next decade due to climate change. This is likely to threaten millions of livelihoods and impact food security. Technology innovations such as remote sensors, digital payments and smartphone applications can help people who depend on natural resources access more opportunities.
The Catalyst Fund is at the forefront of supporting innovative entrepreneurs who are driving change that can transform Africa's future by making it more resilient and sustainable in the face of climate challenges.
