Interview with Dejene TEZERA, Director of the agro-industry and infrastructure development department at UNIDO UNIDO, a key partner in the modernization and development of the agricultural sector in Africa

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is emerging as a key driver in the modernization of Africa’s agricultural sector. Through innovative programs and strong partnerships, UNIDO supports sustainable and inclusive agri-food development across the continent.

By focusing on value chain enhancement, agro-industrialization, and investment facilitation, UNIDO helps African countries strengthen their local agricultural ecosystems. The organization works hand in hand with governments, private stakeholders, and regional institutions to design and implement strategies that boost productivity, improve food security, and create jobs—especially for youth and women.

UNIDO’s approach combines technical expertise, capacity building, and policy support to promote resilient, climate-smart, and competitive agricultural systems. Its ongoing efforts contribute to a long-term vision of transforming agriculture into a powerful engine for economic growth and sustainable development in Africa.
