About Us:
CultivAid is an Israel-based NGO advancing sustainable agriculture in East Africa and the Middle East. Guided by the Agricultural Helix framework, we integrate research, farmer productivity, and value chain development to build sustainable, market-driven agricultural ecosystems.
At the core of our work are Agricultural Innovation and Technology Centers (AITEC)—hubs for technology demonstration, agricultural research, and hands-on training. By bridging Israel’s agricultural expertise with local contexts, CultivAid empowers professionals and farmers, strengthens supply chains, and drives private sector growth.
Our cluster-based approach supports small- and medium-scale farmers, fosters collaboration with regional governments, and scales Israeli innovation to deliver impact.
