Background
Little is known about costs and cost-effectiveness of interventions that integrate wasting prevention into screening for child wasting.
Alleviating the climate-related constraints faced by agri-food systems in sub-Saharan Africa requires an accelerated adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) innovations by farmers.
Climate change, poverty, and low environmental education have contributed to increasing vulnerability of poor farmers in Mali. This study was done to determine the impact of low-cost adaptation strategies on resilience and welfare.
One argument in favor of quotas for women’s representation in political office is that female politicians can break down gender barriers more broadly, inspiring individual women to participate politically.
How best to deliver aid programs in fragile contexts and whether donors can support resilience in these contexts are long-standing questions among development practitioners and scholars.
Increasing formal employment for youth and women is a key goal of the Forsa pilot graduation intervention and Egyptian government policy in general.
Forsa is a pilot economic inclusion program implemented by the Ministry of Social Solidarity (MoSS) in Egypt.
We evaluate the impacts of a traditional food distribution and a nutrition-sensitive food distribution intervention in the context of a rapidly increasing inflationary pressure in Egypt.
Africa’s food systems need to provide sufficient affordable, nutritious food for Africa’s population, whilst generating income and employment to support the continent’s economic and social development.
Stress and cognitive burden associated with poverty constrain decision- making regarding investments in the future, which can in turn perpetuate poverty.
Egypt’s Haya Karima (HK) Initiative aims at improving the quality of life in the country’s rural communities through interventions related to human development, infrastructure, and economic sectors.
Africa RISING (AR) initiatives in Mali were implemented in Bougouni, Yanfolila, and Koutiala cercles (administrative units) in the Sikasso region of the country.
This study evaluates the impact of Africa RISING, a sustainable intensification (SI) program, implemented in Bougouni, Yanfolila, and Koutiala cercles in southern Mali beginning in 2012.
This year marks 20 years of implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), which was launched with the Maputo Declaration in 2003.
A shift from agriculture to manufacturing was one of the hallmarks of job creation, poverty reduction, and rapid growth in low-income countries during the latter half of the 20th century.
In this chapter, we build upon the gender and food systems framework developed by Njuki and colleagues (2022) to assess the associations between measures of women’s empowerment and specific food systems outcomes.
The miracle of increasing agricultural productivity has nourished people and lifted people out of poverty to a degree that would have been unimaginable to our ancestors.
The purpose of this chapter is to analyze Africa’s performance in the last three BRs, examine the degree to which Africa is on track, and assess the efforts still needed to meet the Malabo goals and targets by 2025.
