The event brought together stakeholders from development, academia, community and traditional leadership, the private sector and international development organisations to discuss practical approaches to community empowerment and sustainable development.

Discussions at ANFIS 2026 focused on community development, nutrition, education, youth empowerment, partnerships and sustainable impact, with keynote presentations, fireside discussions, interactive sessions and business-to-business engagement.
The Foundation currently operates four main programme areas: Nutrition Intervention; Education and Mentorship; Youth Empowerment and Certification; and Menstrual Hygiene Education.
As part of its planned expansion in 2027, the Foundation said its Eat Right with A.N. Podcast is expected to produce 52 episodes to support nutrition education and public engagement.
It also plans to organise monthly agricultural training sessions, four Eat Right Community Outreach engagements, four Donate a Book Project activities, four Time with High Schoolers engagements and four Menstrual Hygiene Education outreaches across the 16 regions.
In addition, the Foundation plans to run three internship cycles and train 5,000 young people through its Youth Empowerment and Certification programme.
The Foundation is inviting organisations and institutions to explore partnerships in areas including nutrition, agriculture, education, youth development, skills training, entrepreneurship, menstrual health, food systems and community development.
Potential areas of collaboration include technical support, training and mentorship, research, internships, programme implementation, market access, in-kind contributions, communications and media support, and sponsorship.
The Foundation said the next phase of its work would focus on strengthening partnerships to move its community interventions towards sustained regional impact.
