The Strategy frames an agenda for transforming Higher Agricultural Education, to develop requisite human capital, generate development solutions as well as unlock wealth and job opportunities.

RUFORUM focuses on four (4) Strategic areas designed to advance RUFORUM’s mission while contributing to partners, country and regional development aspirations.
