The African Soil Health Consortium involves a large number of different sorts of organisations working together. The organisations take play different roles, each making an important contribution to outputs and outcomes of the programme:

ASHC coordinating partner
Research and development organizations and initiatives
Private sector partners
Universities
Regional and sub-regional partners
Funding partners

In additional to the work with organisations, the ASHC has recruited a group of exceptional individual experts who form the technical advisory group (TAG). There are strong links between the TAG members and the partner organisations – as can be seen in the information below. Some members of the TAG may be contracted, as a Technical Working Group, to develop level 1 and level 2 materials.
