Partners in Food Solutions
A decade ago, General Mills’ CEO at the time – Ken Powell – was challenged by the Secretary-General of the United Nations (Kofi Annan) to find a way to help improve the quality, safety and availability of food in Africa.
Lucky for us, Powell and his team had the passion, desire, knowledge, and the team to make it happen.
From there, Partners in Food Solutions (PFS) was born.

The success of PFS is rooted in the simple concept of connecting high-potential processors and millers across Africa with talented employees from some of the largest companies in the food industry, like General Mills.
Employees volunteer their time, sharing their expertise with the African food companies to improve their businesses and the food they make.
Learn about the history of PFS and a success story, in this video.
The growth and subsequent impact of PFS has been rooted in relationships that led to an entire network of individuals, companies, governments, nonprofits and donors that now spans the globe.
Today, PFS is an independent nonprofit organization.
Its work is a consortium of six corporate partners with a shared goal of strengthening local food value chains for a sustainable African food industry.
