FARA's strategy from 2014-2018 focuses on strengthening Africa's capacity for agricultural innovation and transformation. It does this through three strategic priorities: [1] working with stakeholders to determine a strategic direction for transforming the agricultural sector, [2] integrating continental capacities for change, and [3] creating an enabling policy environment to implement these changes. The strategy aims to contribute to overall outcomes such as stakeholders determining needed collective actions, strengthening integrated continental capacity, and enabling increased agricultural investment and transformative actions.
