Vision

The Vision of the Regional Hub is for nations in West Africa and the Sahel to improve long-term soil health and fertility for enhanced yield and profitability, efficient resource use (nutrients, water, labour), and climate resilience, thus contributing to the sustainable transformation of African smallholder agriculture for food security, poverty reduction, and environmental sustainability.

Mission

The Mission is to facilitate the delivery of agronomic gain, conceptualized around yield and profitability, resource use efficiency (nutrients, water, labor), climate adaptation, and soil health, at the regional, national, and sub-national level through the assembly, delivery, and monitoring of fertilizer and soil health management practices and related capacity development of key stakeholders, underpinned by institutionalization principles.

REGIONAL HUB FOR FERTILIZER AND SOIL HEALTH FOR WEST AFRICA AND THE SAHEL

Who We Are

The Regional Hub for Fertilizer and Soil Health for West Africa and the Sahel (The Hub) is a center of excellence established in 2024 to enable delivery of technical assistance to fertilizer and soil health-related investments in West Africa and the Sahel countries. Formally launched at the Africa Fertilizer and Soil Health Summit in Nairobi on May 8, 2024, and hosted at the IITA campus in Ibadan, Nigeria, he Hub is financially supported by the World Bank, through CGIAR’s Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project and the Food Systems Resilience Program (FSRP) project, as well as OCP Africa. Building on this foundation, the Hub will actively seek additional financing from public and private partners to scale its impact.. It provides countries with on-demand support to develop and implement these investments at scale on the ground.
