Business Development Manager | Eweko Integrated Services Limited
My motivation for joining the Digital Agriculture and Food Marketing Alliance (DAFMA) is rooted in a deep professional conviction: that the African agricultural sector needs to move from fragmented data to collective intelligence if we are to truly solve systemic problems.
For Eweko, this isn’t just about gaining competitive access to Euromonitor intelligence. It’s about aligning our technology with a movement. I believe that collective data sharing, done ethically and strategically through alliances like DAFMA, is the single most powerful tool we have to generate the global and continental insights necessary for effective climate action and sustainable food systems. We need shared, robust data to move beyond regional pilots and deliver scalable solutions that are resilient to environmental shocks.

Enabling Environment and Civil Society
DAFMA recognizes that government, civil society, and public services play a crucial role as facilitators for private enterprises, promoting competition and entry of entrepreneurs and expansion of small and medium enterprises. Creation and enforcement of the regulatory environment and other public-sector actions are the result of interaction between government and the private sector, creating opportunities for data analysis to inform dialogue and improve the enabling environment. DAFMA’s network includes a variety of talented individuals who support this enabling environment, who periodically share their perspectives with the businesses that constitute our consortium members. These participants include representatives from AGRA, Haramaya University, Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization, University of Ibadan, and other organizations.
