An agribusiness consulting company based in Kenya working across multiple industries and agricultural value chains.
Eagmark provides expertise in development research, agribusiness development services, and capacity building initiatives, all with the goal of improving economic and social wellbeing to achieve sustainability and resilience in the agriculture industry.
Our Mission
Building a sustainable, resilient, and food-secure future through innovation and collective intelligence.
Our Vision
Advancing agricultural productivity through innovation and technology to empower communities across Africa.
Our Team
Eagmark has a dedicated team of agriculture systems professionals who bring a wealth of expertise in research, project management, data management, and analytical skills. Our experience spans the diverse landscapes of Kenya, including the High Potential Areas (HPA) and the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL).
Our commitment to understanding the unique challenges and opportunities in these regions enables us to develop tailored solutions that make a real difference in the agricultural sector.
What We Do
We deliver comprehensive solutions through three core pillars:
Development Research
Generates knowledge and solutions to address economic, social, and environmental challenges for sustainable development. We work to address critical issues in agriculture including Food Security, Climate Change and Environmental Degradation, Poverty and Economic Inequality, Health and Nutrition, Education and Knowledge Gaps, as well as Market Access and Infrastructure challenges.
Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning
Leveraging various M&E frameworks to empower agricultural stakeholders and drive meaningful change in their communities. We integrate Monitoring, Evaluation, Adaptation, and Learning (MEAL) framework to complement various other methodologies, including the OECD Framework, Food Systems Approach, Market Systems Approach, and AAER.
Capacity Building
Enhances skills and systems to empower individuals, organizations, and communities for sustainable growth and resilience. We provide access to training and education programs that help farmers improve their skills and knowledge in areas like crop management, animal husbandry, and business planning.
The Challenge
Africa's population is projected to increase from 1.3 to 2.5 billion by 2050, making up 25% of the world's population which is estimated to be at 9.7 billion at the same time. With this growth, the demand for food will grow exponentially and unemployment will soar since the number of young people in Africa will increase.
Unfortunately, as many as 90% of African youth are expected to work in the informal sector due to a scarcity of jobs. This has led to high rates of youth unemployment, which is a major concern, given that education systems in Africa are not effectively preparing students for the job market.
Our Solution
Eagmark believes that Africa's food insecurity and youth unemployment can be addressed by adopting technology and transforming the education system which will translate to employment. We are working towards achieving this by coming up with innovative solutions and creating skills-based educational models that empower young people with the necessary tools to drive measurable change.
Our programs focus on improving the present and building a sustainable, resilient, food-secure future through innovations and collective intelligence. Through a heuristic approach, Eagmark empowers the youth to learn and employ practical skills in agribusiness, such as opportunity identification, business planning, and resilience.
Our Approach
We plan with the end in mind, ensuring overall program feasibility and projected impact built into the overall implementation design.
Our Journey
Since inception, Eagmark has been working to find solutions to the growing demand for food and agricultural products, rooted in our core values of quality, integrity, teamwork, stewardship, and commitment to humanity. This focus has kept us grounded and guides us in making the best decisions for the organization, the communities we serve, consumers, and our planet.
We have embarked on an advocacy mission for farmers and agribusiness owners to adopt smart farming and Agri-Tech innovations to address the issues in agriculture. Our objective as an organization is to provide farmer-focused solutions to be able to sustainably feed the world.
We work together with other industry players to deliver smart solutions, market insights, technical know-how and applicable education and training that is needed by farmers to sustain their operations and the environment while increasing farm productivity. Eagmark continues to be the true partner of farmers and will always endeavor to think and act from the perspective of its clients and the community.
