In July 2017, the CAADP-XP4 organizations (FARA, AFAAS, CORAF, CCARDESA, CCARDESA, NAASRO) and other continental, regional and national agricultural stakeholders, rolled out the Science Agenda for Agriculture in Africa (S3A) as an African-owned instrument for achieving the CAADP Malabo target of doubling agricultural productivity by 2025.
Knowledge Management was highlighted as one of the key drivers to the achievement of the CAADP Malabo targets. This led to the development of a continental knowledge management strategy including the FARADataInformS as an observatory for Africa Agriculture.
Consequently, to achieve the objective on knowledge management and communication, FARA and the CAADP-XP4 partners jointly initiated the Knowledge Management for Agricultural Development (KM4AgD) Challenge in July 2021.
The Accra Declaration is the outcome of the deliberations and resolutions at this maiden Conference. The Declaration comprises a remarkable set of actionable agricultural knowledge management goals that have been agreed upon by all participants. These goals show a more targeted approach to achieving sustainable agricultural prosperity for the continent both in the short and long-term.

It is joint annual programme by FARA, its continental partners CCARDESA, CORAF, ASARECA, AFAAS and the Knowledge for Development Partnership (K4DP), CGIAR, the AUC-DARBE and the NARIS.
In 2024 the INTERFACES project, with funding from BMBF, sponsored five PhD and post-doctoral students to become “Certified Knowledge Managers for Sustainable Development”. The following scheduled knowledge cafes serve as a validation of their various knowledge products whereby the Community of Practice D-Groups will be utilized as a platform for discussion and exchange. The colloquium series will provide insights into the value-added of communities of practice and an overview of proceedings.
