Former Ethiopia Prime Minister, and current Board Chairman of AGRA, Hailemariam Dessalegn, proposed the establishment of an Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA) in Malawi.
“We need multiple agencies to work together and this calls for an institution to have binding effect on delivery. ATA is an important institution that IFAD, AGRA, BMGF and McKinsey are supporting to establish to unlock bottlenecks by Malawian institutions… Support can be accessed through the ATA on transforming the economy through the establishment of agro-processing areas to double production and resolve market and processing issues as was experienced in Ethiopia through the ATA,” said Dessalegn.
