Building Resilience in Africa’s Food Systems: Join Our Expert Briefing

Date: 23 April 2025
Time: 13:00 – 14:30 BST (GMT+1) Location: Online (via Zoom)

Africa’s food systems are at a critical juncture. The combined challenges of climate change, economic instability, conflict, and environmental degradation are placing immense pressure on the ability of low- and middle-income countries to provide their populations with sustainable and nutritious diets. In response, the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub and the Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition are hosting an important online briefing to present insights from the latest report: Building Resilience and Enhancing Nutrition in Africa’s Food Systems.

This briefing will take place on Wednesday, 23 April 2025, from 13:00 – 14:30 BST (GMT+1). It will provide a platform for policymakers, government officials, researchers, and development practitioners to engage with leading experts and discuss solutions to these pressing challenges.

The session will highlight key recommendations from the report, which is based on a 17-month research project funded by Irish Aid, focusing on food system resilience in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Sierra Leone. Participants will gain valuable insights into:

• The impact of climate change and conflict on food security.
• Practical policy recommendations for strengthening resilience in different settings.
• How to align national strategies with the Kampala Declaration on Africa’s agri-food systems.

By attending this event, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, share best practices, and contribute to shaping strategies that can lead to sustainable improvements in food systems across Africa.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation!
