ProjectFostering Sustainability and Resilience for Food Security in Sub-Saharan Africa - GCP/RAF/511/IFA 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Integrated Approach Program on Food Security (IAP-FS) in sub-Saharan Africa comprises three integrated approach pilots that were agreed as part of the sixth replenishment of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) on sustainable cities, deforestation and food security. The IAP-FS targets agroecological systems in the drylands of sub-Saharan Africa, where the need to enhance food security is directly linked to opportunities for generating local and global environmental benefits. Against this background, this cross-cutting regional hub project aimed to strengthen overall the delivery of the IAP-FS in a coherent and consistent manner, in order to maximize the potential for transformational change beyond what was possible through the separate country projects, covering all agroecological areas targeted by the program. The project targeted 12 countries in Sub-saharan Africa: Burkina Faso, Burundi, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, the Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Eswatini, Uganda, and the United Republic of Tanzania. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetPotential Impacts on Sub-Saharan Africa of Reducing Food Loss and Waste in the European Union
A focus on food prices and price transmission effects
2015Also available in:
No results found.This paper uses scenario analyses to investigate how reductions in food loss and waste (FLW) in the European Union (EU) could influence prices in sub-Saharan Africa – as a source and destination of traded agricultural and food products. In addition to a baseline “business as usual” (BaU) scenario, four scenarios with 50-percent reductions are enacted using the Modular Applied GeNeral Equilibrium Tool (MAGNET). The analysis provides insights on potential impacts in terms of medium- to long-term g lobal and local price changes in sub- Saharan Africa and the mechanisms behind them – changes in production, consumption and trade patterns. It also provides insights into the potential welfare impacts. The research shows that loss or waste of safe and nutritious food for human consumption is being prevented and reduced in the EU concurrent to actions in other regions. The potential intra- and inter-regional impacts on food prices and welfare therefore need to be further researched and projected . The research also shows that high-level considerations of the socio-economic impacts of FLW need to be balanced with value chain analyses that include data on costs related to the prevention and reduction measures to be implemented for short-, mediumand long-term returns on investments along food supply chains, including at the end consumption level. -
ProjectCombating Food Insecurity and Malnutrition for Poor Households in Sub-Saharan Africa - GCP/RAF/477/GER 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The 2008 food crises brought global attention to the unacceptable persistenceof food insecurity and malnutrition, and its socio-economic consequences.Africa remained the continent with the highest prevalence of stunting, withmalnutrition, including undernutrition, overnutrition and micronutrientdeficiencies, still a huge challenge on the continent. Recognizing poornutrition as an impediment to development, African leaders joined theirglobal counterparts in dedicating the Second Sustainable Development Goalto nutrition and committed, under the Malabo Declaration of 2014, to doingbusiness differently in order to reduce undernutrition on the continent.Following the success of an initial German-funded project to support foodsecurity, nutrition and livelihoods, a new phase was needed to encouragegovernments, regional organizations and their development partners to adoptpolicies and implement strategies that maximize the nutritional impact andsustainability of food and agriculture systems.
