Evidence.Intelligence.Action.

Connected intelligence for African agriculture. We transform fragmented evidence into actionable intelligence, helping decision-makers strengthen markets, unlock investment, and build resilient food systems across Africa.

Who we serve

Connected intelligence for African agriculture.

Every stakeholder sees a different part of the agricultural system. We connect the evidence and turn it into intelligence that drives better decisions.

Recent work

Research, reports and analysis.

All publications
From field to figure

We turn field evidence into analysis that supports decisions.

Our work begins with primary and secondary research — across markets, value chains and institutions — and develops it into analysis that partners can use.

How we work

From evidence to action.

01EVIDENCE
Gather the evidence

Primary and secondary research across markets, value chains and institutions.

02INTELLIGENCE

03ACTION
Support the decision

We work with partners to apply the analysis — in programmes, policy and investment.

Themes

Six themes run through our research and advisory work.

Each theme links the advisory work we do with the research we publish on it.

From the Executive Director

African agriculture does not lack ambition or capability. What it often lacks is the evidence that lets good decisions hold up over time. SAIGE was set up to help close that gap — to gather evidence carefully, turn it into analysis that is useful to the people making decisions, and work in partnership to put it to use. We are early, and we intend to earn trust through the quality of the work.
