Agnes Kalibata will leave her role as president of AGRA, an African-led organization dedicated to revolutionizing the continent’s agricultural sector, in early 2025 after a decade at the helm, the organization told Devex.
Kalibata joined AGRA in 2014 following six years as Rwanda’s minister of agriculture and animal resources. She is leaving following AGRA’s policy of 10-year term limits for its presidents, a spokesperson said.
AGRA aims to have a new president in place by May and is actively recruiting for the position.
