TEJATI

TEJATI (Transforming Ecosystems for Jobs in Agriculture through Technology and Innovation) is the national flagship agricultural transformation initiative developed under the Ministry of Agriculture & Livestock Development, anchored in partnership with INAPS and The Mô∅D Label. Formally launched on 29 November 2024, TEJATI targets the creation of 500,000 new jobs annually along the agri-food value chain. The initiative integrates four core pillars: Technological-Agricentric-Apprenticeship Model (TAAM) Farms, School AgriCentric Model (SAM), 4K-5K-YADI youth continuum, and MAMLEZI maternal nutrition pods — all verified through the TEJATI Impact Validation Index (TIVI).
