Transformer les ressources en solutions de developpement - Résumé
2019Also available in:
Le Fonds fiduciaire africain de solidarité est un mécanisme novateur géré par l’Afrique, qui finance des initiatives de développement sur le continent. Le Fonds a été officiellement lancé en juin 2013, lors de la Conférence régionale de la FAO pour l’Afrique, avec un financement initial de 40 millions d’USD apporté par la Guinée équatoriale (30 millions d’USD) et l’Angola (10 millions d’USD). Le Fonds a en outre reçu une contribution symbolique (environ 200 USD seulement) d’un groupe d’organisations de la société civile de la République du Congo. Il s’agit d’un instrument géré par l’Afrique qui a pour vocation de mettre en commun des fonds provenant de pays africains et non réservés à une destination particulière, afin de contribuer aux priorités régionales, sous-régionales et nationales; il est pleinement aligné sur le Cadre stratégique révisé de la FAO. Il a pour objectif principal de renforcer la sécurité alimentaire à l’échelle du continent en aidant les pays et leurs organisations régionales à éradiquer la faim et la malnutrition, à éliminer la pauvreté rurale et à assurer une gestion durable des ressources. Le présent rapport présente les principaux résultats obtenus par le Fonds au titre des initiatives menées par l’Afrique pour l’Afrique dans les domaines de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture. Le Fonds a déjà permis de financer 18 programmes/projets dans 41 pays, de 2014 à 2018. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureThe Africa Solidarity Trust Fund 2020The Sustainable Development Goals and Africa’s Agenda 2063 define the context in which FAO collaborates with its partners to advancing Africa’s development priorities over the next decades. Launched in 2013, the Africa Solidarity Trust Fund (ASTF) provides catalytic and flexible funding to Africa- to-Africa initiatives on food and agriculture, at the regional and country level. As an FAO initiative, the ASTF already proves its success rating as an innovative African-led instrument for sustainable development. By unlocking the potential of intra-African cooperation to bring about rural transformation, the ASTF is a unique funding mechanism that pools resources from Africa to address critical gaps in the development agenda of African countries. Harnessing homegrown knowledge, technology and good practices for food and nutrition security is at the core of this initiative. With an initial USD 40 million from Equatorial Guinea, Angola and symbolic contributions from civil society organizations, the ASTF enable FAO to assist African countries in addressing agricultural issues linked to peace, food security and nutrition, employment, environment, and climate change while creating a positive impact locally.
