No results found.The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme provides the framework in Africa within which sector reviews, expenditure reviews and investment planning related to agriculture and, increasingly, food security and nutrition, are undertaken. In order to ensure efficiency of resource allocation, assistance is needed to strengthen capacities for effective mobilization and use of resources for food security and nutrition, in particular in the development, implementation and monitoring of National Agricultural Investment Plans. In this context, the project was designed to address a number of key issues in Ghana and Malawi. These included insufficient human and institutional capacity to track and analyse resource flows to food security and nutrition, inadequate capacity to negotiate and facilitate public-private partnerships to attract domestic private investment, inadequate stakeholder engagement of diverse non-state actors, the private sector and civil society in policy, as well as political and accountability processes and mechanisms for food security and nutrition. -
BookletCorporate general interestMapping territorial markets in Malawi
Summary report
2023Also available in:
No results found.Smallholder farmers are responsible for most of the food consumed in the world, as well as most of the investments made in agriculture. They operate largely in a range of local and national markets that are embedded in territorial food systems, also known as “territorial markets”. From a consumer perspective, these markets serve as key retail outlets for access to the foods needed for healthy diets, in particular fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, meat and staple foods. Despite their importance however, data concerning territorial markets – such as the availability of food groups, food retailers and consumer profiles – are not often included in national data collection systems. As a result, they are often neglected in strategies aimed at improving nutrition, reducing poverty and fostering local economies. This booklet presents data and results from the mapping territorial markets in Malawi.
