The Rockefeller Foundation Africa Regional Office

Since the establishment of the Rockefeller Foundation’s Africa Regional Office in 1966, the Foundation has forged strong ties with African governments, academic institutions and pan-African entities. Such key partnerships have allowed the Foundation to support capacity and institution building on the continent through a post-doctoral fellows program (RockyDocs) and seeding of regional entities including African Risk Capacity (ARC) and the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). Their regional office plays a critical role in executing and ensuring the integration of the Foundation’s Food, Energy and Health strategies. Similarly, the regional office leads advocacy efforts to promote progressive policies and catalyze investments geared towards Africa’s growth and prosperity. Rockefeller Foundation has been instrumental in funding a number of Foresight and Futures Projects.
