No results found.The Sustainable Development Goals and Africa’s Agenda 2063 define the context in which FAO collaborates with its partners to advance 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 and Angola and symbolic contributions from civil society organizations, the ASTF enables 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. -

No results found.The Africa Solidarity Trust Fund (ASTF) is a funding vehicle for the pursuit of joint and coordinated action to defeat hunger and malnutrition, improve the livelihood of farmers, and guarantee food and nutrition security for all Africans. An evaluation of the initiative from 2012-2017 shows that ASTF is highly relevant and an important funding mechanism to support African countries in pursuing their set priorities and objectives, in accordance with the commitment of the Malabo Declaration to end hunger in Africa by 2025 and achieve food security. ASTF has been instrumental in funding emerging thematic areas for FAO’s work in Africa, such as youth employment, food safety and resilience interventions. The Fund has also helped FAO reinforce strategic partnerships with key regional development actors in Africa, such as the African Union and SADC. To ensure the Funds’ replenishment, there is need to develop and implement a communication and resource mobilization strategy.
