Challenge
Government entities across Africa often operate with limited capacity, constrained systems, and fragmented access to strategic support needed to scale programs and drive long-term development outcomes.
Solution
The African Government Collaborative (AGC) approaches this challenge by emphasizing that lasting transformation depends on alignment, trust, and shared ownership. Rather than presenting a fixed model, AGC functions as a way of engaging that builds momentum from within public systems rather than around them.
The Design–Incubate–Transfer (DIT) model reflects the belief that durable change comes from co-creation, experimentation, and the gradual transfer of ownership. In Tanzania, AGC supported creation of the Private Sector Desk (PSD) within the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, aimed at strengthening sector performance by catalyzing private investment, advancing public–private dialogue, and improving the business environment.
Impact
- Engagement with over 15,000 private-sector actors through training and opportunity promotion
- Facilitation of approximately $80 million annually in loans for livestock and fish farmers
- Influence on tax reforms reducing producer costs
- Mobilization of over $32 million in new investments
AGC recently launched in Zanzibar, supporting government teams on priority delivery goals.
