Over 60 participants joined in the workshop, sharing experiences and lessons learned from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Namibia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe.The workshop aimed to develop a collective narrative for the continent concerning forest-based agrifood systems and their contributions to food and nutritional security.

    HASTEN: Harnessing SDG-based Agrifood System Transformation through the Empowerment of the Next-Generation of Agrifood Leadership in Africa, aims to generate transformational changes in people, processes and markets by strengthening capacities for sustainable agrifood systems transformation across Africa, through the development of new skills to cope with complex, multilevel, multi-sectoral and multistakeholder governance, SDG integration and cross-cutting themes such as inclusion, gender, youth and environmental sustainability. The project is co-led by the FAO Office of Sustainable Development Goals (OSG), FAO Regional Office for Africa (RAF), Subregional Office for Eastern Africa (SFE) and the Subregional Office for West Africa (SFW), and will be implemented in close collaboration with FAO Country Offices in Lesotho, Rwanda and Sierra Leone.

    The HASTEN project aims to generate transformational changes in people, processes and markets by strengthening capacities for sustainable agrifood systems transformation across Africa, through the development of new skills to cope with complex, multilevel, multi-sectoral and multistakeholder governance, SDG integration and cross-cutting themes such as inclusion, gender, youth and environmental sustainability. The project is co-led by the FAO Office of Sustainable Development Goals (OSG), FAO Regional Office for Africa (RAF), Subregional Office for Eastern Africa (SFE) and the Subregional Office for West Africa (SFW), and will be implemented in close collaboration with FAO Country Offices in Lesotho, Rwanda and Sierra Leone.This inception meeting intends to set the groundwork for the HASTEN project, consolidating its workplan, accountability mechanisms and effective engagement of potential national stakeholders. A key tool to be discussed and validated during the meeting is a questionnaire designed to map core capacity andeducational gaps necessary for SDG-based agrifood systems transformation and education in the three implementation countries: Rwanda, Lesotho, and Sierra Leone.
