Moja Academy is proud to announce the official launch of the Virtual MSME Incubator Certificate—a new, comprehensive training experience designed to empower agripreneurs, smallholder farmers, and Extension and Advisory Service Officers to start, grow, and sustain successful micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Over the past three to four decades, the shift toward conventional agriculture—heavily reliant on synthetic fertilizers—has created a dangerous knowledge gap across Africa. It’s time to rediscover what African farmers once knew: soil is alive, and when we regenerate it, we regenerate livelihoods, ecosystems, and food systems.
Very soon Moja Academy will launch the Certified Field Advisor Series—a transformational training initiative tailored for Extension Officers, Agripreneurs, and Farmers in Malawi and across the region.
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, agricultural extension systems are under strain. In Malawi, one extension officer may serve over 4,000 farmers and agripreneurs—eight times the maximum ratio recommended by the FAO. Most smallholders lack access to timely, relevant, and localized guidance on inputs, incubation, and climate-smart agronomic best practices.

Small-holder farmers need to learn climate smart agricultural practices, and they need to be able to trade in wider circles, even as they take simultaneous steps to become more resilient to climate shocks.
Moja’s pivot to the agriculture sector and direct-to-farmer Climate-Smart Agriculture training through Moja Academy may seem to the casual observer like a sudden and sharp deviation in strategy, but it’s rather the cumulative effect of a long process of trial and error of operating the Moja app in Africa.
