No results found.FAO has supported Mauritania and Tunisia since 2018 to strengthen the ecosystem of responsible investment in agriculture and food systems (RAI) by and for young people through inclusive and multidimensional capacity building. This subprogramme enabled the consolidation and scaling up of achievements while providing new technical, organizational and institutional innovations. The subprogramme was carried out in close collaboration between the RAI team in the FAO Partnerships and UN Collaboration Division, the FAO Subregional Office for North Africa (and particularly the policy team), as well as the country offices in Mauritania and Tunisia, bringing together a wide range of expertise and experiences to enhance the performance of the FVC subprogramme. The operating team included a responsible investment officer, a capacity development officer, a subregional communications expert from the Subregional Office for North Africa, national collaborators in Mauritania and Tunisia, as well as youth employment and junior policy experts, also from the subregional office. The subprogramme aimed to strengthen the ecosystem for responsible agricultural investment for youth in Mauritania and Tunisia, utilize the Agri-Accelerator hub to boost young agri-entrepreneurs’ RAI projects that contribute to territorial development and food security in Tunisia and facilitate the application and scaling up of good practices for RAI. -

Book (stand-alone)Empowering young agri-entrepreneurs to invest in agriculture and food systems
Policy recommendations based on lessons learned from eleven African countries
2020Also available in:
Measures that empower young agri-entrepreneurs should be a key component of a sustainable development-centred investment promotion strategy. The very realization of future generations’ food security, the sustainable transformation of food systems and the combat against unemployment and distress migration all depend upon the successful implementation of strategies that make the agri-food sector more attractive for the youth. This, in turn, requires smart policy responses that will help young investors overcome the numerous barriers they face – access to finance, land, information and technical services, to name but the most crucial ones. Since 2017, FAO has provided support to African and South-East Asian countries in identifying key challenges for young agri-entrepreneurs and good practices through participatory capacity analyses and strategic planning processes which were carried out with, and for the youth. This report summarizes the main findings and lessons learned from FAO’s work with eleven African countries – Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea Conakry, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia and Uganda. It identifies key challenges and policy recommendations regarding youth’s access to finance; land; technical services and information; as well as the engagement of youth in policy-making processes. The report also contains a set of five overall key policy recommendations for the empowerment of young agri-entrepreneurs.
