The TAGDev 2.0 program is a collaborative initiative involving 12 RUFORUM member universities, including the University of the Free State, and the Global Confederation of Higher Education Associations for Agricultural and Life Sciences (GCHERA), and the Mastercard Foundation. The goal is to strengthen universities and TVET institutions to better serve communities by skilling and empowering Africa’s young people and their institutions to drive inclusive, equitable and climate-resilient transformation of agriculture and agrifood systems.
