Social Inclusion and Governance

African Government Collaborative

Axum strengthens institutions and social systems that enable equitable participation and accountable leadership.

The 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.

The 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.

The 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.
